It was founded by Blessed Michael J. McGivney in 1882, and is the world’s largest Catholic family, fraternal, and service organization with over 1.7 million members.

CWL (Catholic Women's League) The Catholic Women's League of Canada is a national Catholic women’s organization which provides an opportunity for Catholic women to live their faith within a sisterhood of other Catholic women sharing faith, fun and service. Do you want to grow your faith, serve your community, act on social justice issues and be supported by a sisterhood that embraces these core values? If so…WELCOME to the Catholic Ladies League…you belong with us! Upcoming meeting – Tuesday, September 24 @ 7:00 pm.

COR Men's Gathering COR is a time for men in the parish to pray, engage in a scripture program called Men of the Word, and enjoy fellowship with each other.

Upcoming dates are: June 6, July 4, August 1,  September 5.
 
Parish Bible Study Meets every second Monday, 10:30 - 12:30 am. Currently studying "The Eucharist - A Bible Study for Catholics" by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. Meetings take place in the parish office building, just South of the church (lower level). Please note, our last meeting before summer break will be April 29. We will resume again in the Fall on Sept 9, 2024! For information or any questions please call Claire Connell (780) 887-0468.

The Rock Youth Group Youth in Grades 7 - 12 gather in the church basement twice a month after the 5 p.m. mass on Saturdays, from about 6:15 - 8:30 p.m.  One of our monthly sessions is more formalized or structured; the second monthly meeting is a social gathering and we, for example, go skating or bowling, or we have a games or movie night.  Our formal sessions begin with prayer and an icebreaker/game.  We then engage in a published program that helps our young people grow in their knowledge and practice of the faith.  This is often followed by a prayer and praise session upstairs in the main body of the church.  The evening always concludes with some social time and refreshments. For more information contact therock.stvital@gmail.com.

St. Vital Young Adults Young Adults aged 18 to 35 are invited to get involved with the young adult community of St. Vital Parish. We host two events each month, one of which is an apologetics night where we have a presentation and interactive discussion defending the Catholic faith. Apologetics nights will also incorporate prayer and Sacred Scripture, and will conclude with a social and refreshments. Apologetics nights will take place in the basement of St. Vital Parish. Our other monthly event is a social event for the young adult community to grow in friendship. Some of the social events, for example, would be going to a corn maze, board game nights, or skiing. If you would like to be notified of our monthly events, please submit your email to our notification list here. If you have questions, feel free to email stvitalyoungadults@gmail.com.

Children's Liturgy Children's Liturgy of the Word is held during the 11:00 am Sunday mass for children up to age 7 (Pre-Kindergarden to Grade 2). This is a great opportunity for some age-appropriate catechesis which is based on the Sunday's readings. The reflections, games, and activities are designed for pre-readers and do not require advanced motor skills. See volunteer information.

Pastoral Care The Pastoral Care Team is a group of parishioners from St Vital who are available to bring the Blessed Sacrament to those of our parish who are unable to attend Mass on Sundays. We regularly go to Chateau Vitaline and Place Beausejour, as well as private homes of those who are unable to attend Mass due to health reasons. If you have a loved one who is unable to attend Mass and would like to have a visit and receive Holy Communion from our team, or would like to join our team please contact Nadia LaFoy at 587-988-7449 or the parish office. Please note that we always come as a team of two people when we visit.

Altar Serving Altar serving is a great way for your children to serve at mass. It lays a foundation for a lifelong devotion to the church and could help them develop a deeper understanding and a deeper love for the faith. To sign up, or for more information, please contact Michael Bilodeau at michaelbilodeau2005.8@gmail.com.
