On Sunday 13 June, our recently ordained seminarian Father Garrick Huang returned to his hometown to celebrate his first Mass in Vancouver before heading to his posting at the FSSP parish in Ottawa. We are pleased to be able to share a selection of photographs of this joyous occasion, taken by Clayton Richard Long.
