The Mission to Seafarers have been continously active in the Diocese of New Westminster for over 116 years. Over those years, the Flying Angel Club has welcomed many seafarers from around the globe. Operating at both Waterfront Vancouver and Roberts Bank (Delta Port), the Mission provides a warm and hospitable "home away from home" for visiting seafarers.
Services provided include access to Free Wi-Fi, a small shop selling Canadian souvenirs, toiletries, SIM cards, transportation to and from the ship, pool and fussball, money transfers, books and magazines, gently used clothing esp. winter jackets, sweaters and shirts.
Chaplaincy services include visiting the ships, services onboard such as communion or a ship blessing, prayer, devotional material including bibles in different languages.
