Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: March 23, 2025
Kudos to Jewel White, Head of the Music Ministry, for organizing the first ever Music Workshop in our parish last
Saturday, March 15! It was a resounding success. There were 26 participants comprising of children and adults. The
resource facilitator for the workshop was Tracy Sanders, a music teacher based in Manitou. The inputs during the
workshop include the following topics: (a) The Purpose of Music in the Liturgy, (b) Ministers of Music, (c) Principles for
Selecting Music, (d) Music During the Sunday Eucharist & Other Occasions. There was a lot of singing, of course. I was
amused at how the young people showed interest on singing traditional Latin hymns, like Salve Regina, the O Salutaris
and Tantum Ergo……….. Jewel received amazing support for the workshop and she has this to say: “A heartfelt thank
you to Kobo & Sia Tuikuka, Cypher & Kitin Cayona, and John Catibog, for stepping up and helping with our music
workshop. Your support means the world to me, and I’m deeply grateful. I started the day feeling a bit anxious,
wondering how many would come, who could assist, and whether we’d have enough snacks and food. But, God must
have heard my prayers, and through the Holy Spirit, He moved generous hearts to lend a hand. The workshop was yet
another beautiful reminder of God’s unfailing providence.”………. Another good news! The Office of the Archbishop has
approved our request to enter a loan of $85k at the Access Credit Union for our worshipping space expansion project
which consists of tearing down the separating the wall separating the nave and the parish hall and installing a sliding
partition. God willing, nobody has to sit near the washrooms, rather everyone will be accommodated comfortably in
the expanded worship space during the Easter Triduum liturgies……….. While our loan is amortized for 10 years, but we
are aiming to pay it in 5 years or less because we want to start in the nearest future the building of a bigger parish hall
with additional washrooms and classrooms for our catechism children. I will be formally establishing very soon the
parish Fund Raising Committee. If there is anybody else who want to help in this regard, you are most welcome.
