Parish Update - February 8, 2026
The season of Lent will be upon us very soon. On February 15, Sunday, we will celebrate the Rite of Burning of Palms in preparation for Ash Wednesday on February 18 which is the beginning of Lent. Kindly bring your palms from last year’s Palm Sunday on or before the 11 AM Mass on February 15……….. Lent is a season for spurt growth in the faith and the spiritual life. However, such spurt will not occur automatically. One has to desire it and be intentional about it. One has to exert effort in following the discipline of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. With regards almsgiving, our parish is again collecting food items for the food banks in Morden and Winkler. You may bring your donations to the altar during the Offertory. For prayer, I would highly encourage you to download Formed to your smart tv or phone. There are a lot of materials there for prayer, reflection and learning about our faith. Visit signup.formed.org, then enter your name and information, click Find A Parish, type “Morden” and select “St. John the Evangelist”, and finally create a password for your account. You don’t have to pay for the platform as the parish has already paid a full year subscription for it.
