Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Parish Update - October 4, 2026
Do bring your babies and kids to church. We should start to make them feel part of the Church as early as possible. On the other hand, there are senior members of our community and we too should be mindful of them. So, parents, kindly tell your children to be careful always around the elderly. We don’t want them to fall and cause them harm. Therefore, we should not be rushing after the Mass. If possible, we let the seniors leave first and even assist them retrieving their canes or walkers, and open the doors for them........... Last Thursday, the Morden Chamber of Commerce sponsored the All Candidates Forum for the October 28 municipal election. I am not aware though if something of the same sort was also held in Winkler. Anyway, I am not qualified to vote, but as your pastor, I would like to remind you of your very important civic duty. To vote during election is a work of charity as well. By choosing our officials with the common good and the needs of the less fortunate members of society in mind is meritorious in the eyes of God. So, vote! This reminder is especially addressed to new Canadians who are 18 years old and above. Know the candidates, ask from long-time residents about them and about the needs in the community........... Pope Leo XIV just returned to Rome from a very meaningful trip to France from September 25-28. In fact, during the General Audience at the Vatican last Wednesday, the Holy Father said that the visit can be described in one word – rebirth. What he saw in the Church in France is like the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris that has endured tragedy when it got destroyed by fire in April 2019 and was restored and reopened in December 2024. From Paris, the Holy Father went to Lourdes and then to the city of Metz. What struck me during papal trip was the image of young people going to confession on the sidewalk of Paris. Apparently, a Muslim association in France even expressed concern over the renewed enthusiasm surrounding Catholicism during Pope Leo XIV’s visit, saying that “in 45 years, France will become Catholic again, and we’ll be left with nothing but our tears.” The group added that Catholics are “much better organized” and “more determined” than Muslims, and warned that the influence of American Catholicism could help fuel the growth of Catholicism around the world.

About the Children's Rosary

Younger children and siblings are encouraged to participate as well. This is a unique opportunity for the children of our parish to come together to pray and to lead us all into prayer. Adults are welcome and encouraged to come to the Children’s Rosary as the “guardian angels” of this movement. Children's Rosary: 4:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Children's Mass: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
