Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: December 1, 2024
On November 23, our parish hosted the Diocesan Pastoral Council meeting for English parishes. The meeting was
graced by the presence of Archbishop LeGatt; and indeed it was a great privilege for the parish to host it. Discussions
during the meeting centered on the revisions of the archdiocesan document titled “From the Upper Room to the Ends
of the Earth” which contains the provisions concerning the nature and role of the Parish Pastoral Council. One of the
provisions says that task-groups, ministries, and organizations in the parish should be group into Pillars. While we are
ahead in this area, we call our groupings Commissions. I am very glad about this change because the more permanent
parish commissions are oftentimes confused with committees which refer to short-term groups with a specific undertaking
(e.g., Commission on Worship versus Committee on “Simbang Gabi”). So, from now on, our parish commissions
will be called parish pillars. Hence, we have 5 parish pillars: Pillar on Worship, Pillar on Education, Pillar on Social Action,
Pillar on Family & Life, and Pillar on Youth………. I was very happy to meet some of the senior members of our
community last Thursday, November 28, during the Hello Autumn held at Homestead. I celebrated the Holy Mass with
them and afterwards shared coffee, tea and cookies which were made even more delicious because of the wonderful
conversations. Thanks to our Parish Pillar on Social Action under Jeannette Warnock and Joanne Foster for the initiative………..
Let us go to Confession during Advent! Spiritual preparation is the paramount preparation for Christmas.
