Holy Family Parish offers Mass and administration of other sacraments in the traditional Latin form of the Roman Rite according to the liturgical norms of 1962. We invite you to learn more about our parish, and to attend our services.
Benjamin Laggui has uploaded a slide show of photographs of Father Huang’s first Mass in Vancouver (13 June 2010). Mr Laggui has a fine eye for dramatic moments of the liturgy, and his photos are well worth looking at.

This photograph from Father Huang’s ordination in Nebraska, 22 May 2010, is especially moving for long-time members of the traditional Mass community in Vancouver. Father Charles Ryan, former pastor of this community, performs the imposition of hands on Father Huang’s head during the ordination service. Following the imposition of hands by Bishop Bruskewitz, all the priests present laid their hands on each of the ordinandi. As well as receiving this sign from his former pastor and teacher, Father Huang was also blessed to receive the imposition of hands from his younger brother, Father Justin Huang, a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Vancouver who is now studying to become a diplomat at the Vatican.
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.

This Friday, 11 June, is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. High Mass will be offered at 7:30 pm, followed by prayers of reparation to the Sacred Heart.
The encyclical letter, Miserentissimus Redemptor, of Pope Pius XI, outlines the Church’s teaching on the Sacred Heart.
Prayer of reparation to the Sacred Heart
O sweetest Jesus, whose overflowing charity towards men is most ungratefully repaid by such great forgetfulness, neglect and contempt, see, prostrate before Thy altars, we strive by special honor to make amends for the wicked coldness of men and the contumely with which Thy most loving Heart is everywhere treated.
At the same time, mindful of the fact that we too have sometimes not been free from unworthiness, and moved therefore with most vehement sorrow, in the first place we implore Thy mercy on us, being prepared by voluntary expiation to make amends for the sins we have ourselves committed, and also for the sins of those who wander far from the way of salvation, whether because, being obstinate in their unbelief, they refuse to follow Thee as their shepherd and leader, or because, spurning the promises of their Baptism, they have cast off the most sweet yoke of Thy law. We now endeavor to expiate all these lamentable crimes together, and it is also our purpose to make amends for each one of them severally: for the want of modesty in life and dress, for impurities, for so many snares set for the minds of the innocent, for the violation of feast days, for the horrid blasphemies against Thee and Thy saints, for the insults offered to Thy Vicar and to the priestly order, for the neglect of the Sacrament of Divine love or its profanation by horrible sacrileges, and lastly for the public sins of nations which resist the rights and the teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast instituted. Would that we could wash away these crimes with our own blood! And now, to make amends for the outrage offered to the Divine honor, we offer to Thee the same satisfaction which Thou didst once offer to Thy Father on the Cross and which Thou dost continually renew on our altars, we offer this conjoined with the expiations of the Virgin Mother and of all the Saints, and of all pious Christians, promising from our heart that so far as in us lies, with the help of Thy grace, we will make amends for our own past sins, and for the sins of others, and for the neglect of Thy boundless love, by firm faith, by a pure way of life, and by a perfect observance of the Gospel law, especially that of charity; we will also strive with all our strength to prevent injuries being offered to Thee, and gather as many as we can to become Thy followers. Receive, we beseech Thee, O most benign Jesus, by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Reparatress, the voluntary homage of this expiation, and vouchsafe, by that great gift of final perseverance, to keep us most faithful until death in our duty and in Thy service, so that at length we may all come to that fatherland, where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God for ever and ever. Amen.
