Liturgical Life
Our School Liturgies are always the most important moment in the life of our school community. We are continually working and enriching and developing our celebrations. We are thankful to Mrs. Vernier for agreeing to work with us at developing a Music Ministry Programme at Vancouver College in the form of a Liturgical Choir for Middle and Senior School Liturgical Celebrations!
