Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Announcements and Upcoming Events
Update: November 19, 2022
Viva Christo Rey! This Sunday is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. This feast was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 with his encyclical letter titled “Quas primas” (In the First) wherein he wrote, “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” Indeed, we encounter the Lord in the Gospel weeping over Jerusalem because she did not recognize the things that make for peace, because she did not recognize the time of God’s visitation (cf. Lk 19:41-44). It is only in him that we find peace. This is something urgent as we continue to experience wars, diseases, calamities, and economic uncertainties. May all come to recognize Christ as King of Love and live his commandments. “O Jesus King of All Nations, may your reign be recognized on earth.”………. Just a heads up on a couple of up coming activities: First, the Mass on November 30 will be offered for all the sick and elderly in the parish. There will be anointing of holy oil within the Mass and distribution of medals of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal………. Second, our brothers and sisters from the Ukrainian Catholic Mission of All Saintsare having a Christmas Market & Bake Sale at our parish hall on December 3 (Saturday) from 12 PM to 4 PM. Kindly support……….. Third, St. Nicholas is coming to our church on December 11 (Sunday) at the end of the 11 AM Mass. Parents, bring your children to know more about St. Nick and receive some treats from him………… Fourth, our sister parish of St. Patrick in Manitou is inviting all young people to an Advent Retreat on December 3 (Saturday). It’s a “full” day spiritual exercise from 9 AM to 7 PM. Do refer to the bulletin board for more information........... Fifth, the Filipino Community is again having their traditional “Simbang Gabi” (evening Mass) from December 15 to 23. It’s a 9-day novena Mass in honor of Our Lady in anticipation of Christmas.
Update: November 12, 2022
I would like to remind you again to support the archdiocesan Good Shepherd Campaign whose goal of this annual campaign is to raise funds for the formation of candidates for the priesthood and for the training of international priests who are going to minister in the archdiocese of Saint Boniface. The collection will take place on November 19 & 20, but using the special envelopes on the table at the church foyer, you may give your donation even before that by dropping your gift into the donation box……….. For months of November and December, the CWL is assisting us to do two of the seven corporal works of mercy – to feed the hungry & to clothe the naked. They are initiating the Food & Winter Clothing Drive. All donations will be forwarded to the Missionaries of Charity in Winnipeg sometime after December 14. Kindly refer to the bulletin board or our parish social media group to be guided what stuff you may donate. You may bring your gifts to our less fortunate brothers and sisters when you come for Sunday Mass or you may call / message me during the weekdays so that I may open the door for you to drop off your donations. Boxes are placed at the entrance of our church for your donations. I hope we can fill up these boxes every week……….. Next Sunday is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. To end the 11:00 AM liturgy, there will be a Eucharistic procession inside the church and the Benediction……….. The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, formerly referred to as "Christ the King," was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God out of man's thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. The feast is intended to proclaim in a striking and effective manner Christ's royalty over individuals, families, society, governments, and nations.
Update: October 29, 2022
I thank the CWL for assisting me in welcoming the priests of the deanery during our meeting last Tuesday. We feel we’re being spoiled. The priests were especially happy visiting some parishioners over coffee after the concelebrated Mass; there’s nothing like it in our previous meetings. Special thanks to Denise Aune, Gary & Rosemarie Haggerty for setting our lunch……….
We will celebrate the culmination of Rosary Month this Sunday. The Rosary will be prayed before the Mass as well as the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the 11:00 AM Mass, the Salve Regina will be sung and the image of Our Lady is venerated with incense. Needless to say, this does not mean that we no longer pray the Rosary for the rest of the year. In fact, the month of the Rosary is meant to intensify our love for this powerful devotion…………
November 2, Wednesday, is All Souls Day. The Holy Mass for our dear departed will still be at 7:00 PM. However, at 11:00 AM, I will be at Morden Hillside cemetery to pray and bless the graves of departed parishioners. I think I remember where some of the graves are. However, it would be great if some parishioners will be able to join me there to do the responses of the prayers as well as point out to me the graves that I might miss…………
As in the previous years, at the evening Mass of All Souls Day, writing materials will be provided at the church entrances so that you may list the names of loved ones for whom you want to offer the Mass. The lists will be read after the Gospel proclamation and put in a temporary memorial at the sanctuary………..
This weekend also is the launching of the Good Shepherd Campaign. The theme for this year is: Awaken! The goal of this annual campaign is to raise funds for the formation of candidates for the priesthood and for the training of international priests, like myself, for ministry in the archdiocese.
The collection will take place on November 19 & 20. Special prepaid envelopes for your donations are placed on the table at the foyer which also indicate other modes of donating.
Update: October 22, 2022
You will be my witnesses! (Acts 1:8) – This is the theme for this Sunday which is World Mission Day. Since we cannot go to places where the Gospel is not yet preached or where is the Church is still nascent, we are urged to support our missionaries with our prayers and donations. Donation envelopes Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith may be found on the table at the church foyer. You may drop your gift into the parish donation box........... This Tuesday, 25th of October, our parish will be hosting the Priests’ Deanery meeting. The meeting will begin with a concelebration of the Holy Mass at 10:00 AM. Those who want to participate in the Mass are very much welcome........... The parishes of the archdiocese of Saint Boniface are divided into groups in order to promote coordination of activities. These groups of parishes within the archdiocese are called deaneries headed by a priest called the Dean........... In the archdiocese of Saint Boniface there is one deanery for the First Nations called Native Ministry Deanery and seven territorial deaneries, namely: Winnipeg River Deanery, Urban French Deanery, South Urban English Deanery, Seine River Deanery, Red River Deanery, Mountain Deanery, Kilcona Deanery. The Parish of St. John the Evangelist belongs to the Mountain Deanery........... Fr. Peter Le Van Ngu (St. Claude Parish) is the Dean of Mountain Deanery. Other priest-members of the deanery includes: Fr. Vincent Lusty (St. Martin of Tours Parish in Swan Lake), Fr. Marcel Carrière (Notre-Dame-de-la- Nativite Parish in Somerset), Fr. Mario Veloso (Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Carman), Fr. Jojo Anquilero (St. Maurice Parish in Morris), Fr. Joe Tran (St. John Berchmans Parish in Holland), Fr. Francis Adzakor (Notra-Dame-de-Lourdes Parish)........... Pray the Rosary daily! One of the promises of our Lady: “I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.”
Update: October 15, 2022
After the 11 AM Mass this Sunday, October 16, is the CWL Information Session. I highly encourage all the women in the parish to attend this session to get acquainted with the nature and the apostolate of the CWL. Anticipating that most women will be coming to church with their families, the CWL will be offering coffee and refreshments so that the husbands and children may have something to munch on and sip while they accompany the ladies in attending the session……….. The CWL is also sponsoring an Estate Planning Information Event on Tuesday, October 18, at 8:00 PM in our parish hall. The resource person of the event is Stephane Warnock, a local lawyer. Among other things, he will be discussing the importance of having a valid will, the role of a power of attorney, and why one should have an estate plan. Everybody is invited to the event. Some of us may postpone such kind of planning due to cultural misconceptions, but we should overcome such error……….. Our group of Boholano-Filipino priests are gathering one last time for this year before winter sets in. So, there will be no Mass on Tuesday as I might not be able to come back on time for the evening Mass while driving from Regina……….. I would like to remind you again that next Sunday, October 23 is World Mission Day with the theme: You will be my witnesses! (Acts 1:8). Kindly support the mission territories by your prayers and donating to the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Donation envelopes may be found on the table at the church foyer……….. Pray the Rosary! One of the 15 promises of our Lady: “Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.” Signal graces are subtle divine hints guiding us towards making the right decisions in life.
