In a precautionary measure, we are CANCELLING ALL ACTIVITIES AT CRCC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. We will continually re-evaluate the risks associated with COVID19 and will update our assessment until the pandemic is under control in accordance with all governmental and ecclesiastical guidelines. Please check the website for further notifications.

If you have registered for an activity that has been cancelled, we encourage you to re-register for an activity at a later date. Your payment or deposit will automatically be applied to that event.

We apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment this may cause and we hope you will enjoy a retreat at CRCC in the near future.

We take advantage of this announcement to offer you a couple of articles that provide practical guidelines for confronting this extraordinary situation. The first one is a pastoral letter by Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz, the Prelate of Opus Dei. The second is entitled Growing on the “Inside” and offers tips on how to face the quarantine.

Schedule of fall retreats here: www.copperridgeconferencecentre.ca/retreats/

Please respect the 30km per hour speed limit at all times when you are travelling in the Britannia Beach community.

CRCC is the new neighbour in the Britannia Beach community and we want to be a good one. Britannia Beach is a rural community with no sidewalks so all residents who walk have to use the roads. That’s why the speed limit in the community is 30km/h everywhere. As soon as you exit the highway, we encourage you to reduce your speed to respect this limit (and avoid tickets) and to steer clear of the unsuspecting pedestrians walking with children and dogs.  Another reason to drive slowly is that it will give you a chance to greet the neighbours with a smile and a friendly wave as you drive up to Copper Ridge. This will help them understand better the ethos that inspires us. Thank you and enjoy the drive!

LENTEN CHALLENGE: 1000 hours for CRCC

CRCC is launching a Lenten challenge to the friends of Copper Ridge to offer 1000 hours of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament in gratitude for all that has been accomplished thus far and to draw down blessings for all that is still needed. You are invited to join us at Crestwell Centre for ladies or Glenwood Centre for men at the times listed below for Eucharistic Adoration.

We are sure that our 1000 hours of prayer will bring countless blessings to not only the project, but to our families and friends. For those who have not experienced the beauty of the oratories of our centres, it is a great opportunity to do so.

If it is impossible for ladies to go to Crestwell or men to Glenwood please take your friends to a Blessed Sacrament Chapel in your area and offer an hour of prayer for the project.

All hours offered may be scheduled and recorded at the links below. Each week we will update the website with the hours accomplished. Please contact Crestwell at 604 222 8317 or Glenwood at 604 738 0780 with any questions you may have and we look forward to seeing many of you in Lent 2019.

The “Marriage Feast at Cana” is very meaningful to us, because we attribute my husband Jason’s healing to Mary’s intercession.  

When Jason had surgery almost five years ago, the doctors were very negative.  94% of people with a small malignant tumor which is surgically removed are cured.  But he was among the unlucky 6% who had the cancer progress to stage 3a.  The doctors said that his five year survival rate was only 40% and the chance for recurrence within the first year was as high as 80%.  They all said that they were very sorry that this had to happen to such a young family. We prayed to Our Lady to intercede for him to be completely cured. We were sure that she had heard our prayer.

Five years later, two weeks ago, he went to see the specialist who told us that his recent CAT scan showed that he was cancer free.  And the chance of recurrence was 0%.

We know that it was Mary’s intercession that brought about that miracle of healing, just like at the Marriage Feast at Cana when Jesus answered his mother’s request to turn water into wine.
