People

VANSPEC is directed by the Daughters of Saint Mary of Providence, a congregation founded in 1881, which came into the Vancouver Archdiocese in 1981. The Sisters have worked extensively with children and adults who have an intellectual disability.

Volunteer catechists (teacher) or aides are very dedicated men and women who want to share their faith with the special needs members of our family of faith. To become a volunteer, no special training is needed. It is the love of God and the love of neighbour that is the foundation on which our training is based.

The Friends of VANSPEC is an auxiliary group, composed of catechists, parents of students and friends, who help to promote the Program and assist in its various activities.
If you want to volunteer, but aren't able to do so on a regular basis, perhaps this is the group for you.
