Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: January 12, 2025
We have a series of Holy Mass offered this week for the late John Buhler. The latter is the very generous donor of the property on which our church stands even if he himself was not a Catholic. He passed away at the age of 91 on Decem-ber 21, 2024. Let us entrust him to the unfathomable mercy of the Almighty God as we pray for his eternal re-pose………. As we end the Christmas season, make sure to read the “Urbi et Orbi” Christmas Message of Pope Francis 2024. Here’s an excerpt: “In Bethlehem, Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. He was born, not by the will of man, but by the gift of the love of God our Father, who ‘so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever be-lieves in him should not perish but have eternal life’ (Jn 3:16)… This event is renewed today in the Church, a pilgrim in time. For the faith of the Christian people relives in the Christmas liturgy the mystery of the God who comes, who assumes our mortal human flesh, and who becomes lowly and poor in order to save us. And this moves us deeply, for great is the tenderness of our Father…. The first people to see the humble glory of the Saviour, after Mary and Joseph, were the shepherds of Bethlehem. They recognized the sign proclaimed to them by the angels and adored the Child. Those humble and watchful men are an example for believers of every age who, before the mystery of Jesus, are not scandalized by his poverty. Rather, like Mary, they trust in God’s word and contemplate his glory with simple eyes. Before the mystery of the Word made flesh, Christians in every place confess with the words of the Evangelist John: ‘We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only-begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth’ (Jn 1:14)…. Today, as the winds of war are blowing in our world and an outdated model of development continues to produce human, societal and environmental decline, Christmas invites us to focus on the sign of the Child and to recognize him in the faces of little children, especially those for whom, like Jesus, ‘there is no place in the inn’ (Lk 2:7).”……….. In the second half of his message, Pope Francis encourages us to see Jesus in the children of the Middle East, Syria, Iraq, Africa, Korean Peninsula, Venezuela, Ukariane who are suffering because of war, poverty, political instability and natural disasters. We must also see Jesus in the children of unemployed parents, and children who are forced to work or enrolled as soldiers as well as immigrant children who become an easy target for human traffickers. Do read the entire message online as well as the Christmas message of our very own Archbishop LeGatt
