Time: The service starts at 9:00 am but we will go in at 9:45am and finish about 11:30am.

There are many parts to the service, and many rituals involved.

The IFNC guests will be invited to join in the light refreshments (Kiddush) after the service, followed by a discussion session with Rabbi Jordan Ofseyer.

A brief explanation (15 minutes) of the parts of the service will be given to those who come early (9:30 am). This will be in the library at the end of the entrance hall, on the right.

PLEASE RSVP if you plan to attend this program.

InterFaith Network of Calgary (IFNC) is an informal and grassroots group of Calgarians, belonging to several faith traditions, who have come together to promote goodwill and mutual understanding.

We believe that this objective is best achieved by interaction and dialogue among the followers of different faiths. This belief is based on our conviction that while the general tendency is to highlight the differences among different faiths, a deeper study would reveal that we have more in common than is generally believed.

We hope that through these gatherings, we will encourage mutual respect and peace in our community.

We meet once a month to discuss questions related to our personal spirituality and religious practice. The venues of the gatherings rotate among the places of worship.

Our theme for this year is: “Sharing Each Other’s Festivals”
