Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: July 28, 2024
Happy Feast & Parish Family Day! I pray that the joyful camaraderie that we enjoy on this feast day will strengthen our determination to consciously help each other grow in our relationship with the Lord……….. I would like to thank the PPC and PFC for supporting our activities relative to the feast day. I would like to make special mention Cypher & Kitin Cayona who heads the committee overseeing the activities. We are also thankful to Irene Oliviero for prepar-ing the novena prayer, and to Jason Lopez for organizing the games. We are grateful to Sia Tuikuka for communi-cating with the original parish members and coordinating the tribute for the latter……….. Our titular saint, St. John the Evangelist, together with his brother James was nicknamed by our Lord “Boarneges” which means “sons of thunder”. Presumably, it is because of their “thunder-like” qualities. One Gospel episode narrates that when a Samaritan town refused to welcome the Lord Jesus and his group of disciples, the brothers proposed to the Lord that they call down fire to rain on the town (cf. Luke 9). Constant company with Jesus, however, changed them. St. James, whose feast was celebrated last Thursday, July 25, became the first among the apostles to die a martyr’s death. As for John, he wrote a lot about love in his letters which we can read in the New Testament of our Bibles. There’s, in fact, story by St. Jerome that says that when St. John was old and frail, he would always speak to his disciples about love. One time, a disciple asked him why he doesn’t teach about something else. St. John replied, “It is the Lord’s command, and if this only is done, it is enough.” Consequently, from being a “son of thunder”, our titular saint earned another nicknamed – “the apostle of love”.
