Vancouver

July to September 2008

 

PROGRAM

Sunday, June 29, Holy Family Hall after 11:00 Mass:
Luncheon to honour Father Benno Burghardt.

Father Benno, long-time pastor of Holy Family Parish and Past Praeses of Kolping Vancouver, is entering retirement at the end of June. Any Kolping members who are not members of Holy Family, please contact Hanna Bierhaus to be put on the attendance list.

Sometime in August, weather permitting. The phone committee will contact you Hike/Walk/ Bicycle Outing on the Richmond Dyke. Hopefully we will be luckier weather-wise this year. Choose your own pace and mode of transportation. Bring your picnic lunch or buy a snack in Steveston.

Saturday, September 13 - 5:00 pm at Holy Family Hall Dinner and Social Evening. This event is to show our appreciation to you, our members, and to thank you for your loyalty, hard work and contributions to our Kolping Family. We will take this opportunity to honour all members who celebrate special birthdays and anniversaries this year.

Please remember to pray for our Kolping brothers who are ill: Joachim Knoll and Günther Wilde. Günther is being cared for in a hospice. He is very lonely and would appreciate more visitors. The hospice address is: St. James Cottage, 650 North Penticton Street, Vancouver. The hospice phone number is 604-606-0440.

On April 10th, 2008 Hans Paul went to his eternal rest and joined his beloved Gerda, who had preceded him in December 2006. In their early years in Vancouver, Hans and Gerda had an open door for lonely young immigrants and they became mentors to many. Hans was a driving force in the founding of Kolping Vancouver and was to receive his 60-year membership certificate last May. The many Kolping brothers and sisters who attended his funeral were a testimony of their love and respect for him.
