Parish Annual Picnic

• St. Joseph Parish, Port Moody

Food, music, and a wonderful afternoon together as a parish community.

What a wonderful turnout for our Parish Annual Picnic! Parishioners, families, and friends came together for a joyful afternoon of good food, live music, and fellowship at St. Joseph Parish. It was a delight to see everyone sharing a meal, catching up, and enjoying time together.

Helping hands behind the scenes

From setting up the picnic area to preparing and serving food and cleaning up afterward, there were many ways to lend a hand. Thank you to all the Brothers and Catholic Women’s League (CWL) members who gave their time and energy to make the day such a success.
