Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: July 6, 2025
The Archbishop was very much impressed by the number of Confirmands that we have this year. He said that we are among the top four parishes which have the greatest number of Confirmands. “Are we also among the most vibrant parishes?” – I was about to ask him pointblank, but humility held me back. On the other hand, during his homily he expressed admiration for the communal participation he was witnessing – from the beautiful singing of the choir to the big group of Altar Servers “who know what they are doing”. Later, he remarked positively on how organized the outdoor lunch reception was as well as how good the food was. Again, I thank our Confirmands who were the cause of our joy on that day, their families, their sponsors, our catechists, the service teams, and everybody whose presence during Confirmation Mass made it more memorable. I am very proud of you, my dear parishioners………. I would like to give a heads-up on another three important parish activities this summer: the parish pilgrimage, the parish Family Day, and the Corn & Apple Festival. There are about 35 families who registered to accompany the pilgrimage comprising of 138 individuals. Details are yet to be ironed out, but the pilgrimage on July 13 will begin with a rite of blessing for pilgrims in our parish church. Then, upon arrival at St. Malo’s grotto, there will a penitential service, the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, and prayer for the Holy Father. Thus, the pilgrims are assured of meeting all the conditions for obtaining the jubilee plenary indulgence. I will be accompanying the pilgrimage, so I have asked Fr. John Te Nguyen to cover the Mass here in our parish……….. The parish Family Day last year was organized by the PPC and spearheaded by the parish Pillar on Family & Life. This year, it will be under the PFC and spearheaded by the parish Fundraising Committee. Details are also being finalized. But, the following has already been decided: (a) date - July 27, (b) venue – Research Sta-tion lawn, (c) main activities – outdoor Mass at Research Station, potluck lunch, fun-filled activities……….. For the first time this year, we are making tap payment available at our hamburger booth during the Corn & Apple Festival on August 22-24. But, we need more volunteers as order takers, grillers, sandwich makers, onion cookers, booth and kitchen assistants. Sign up sheet is on the church bulletin board. Do volunteer even for just a single shift as a family or as group of friends! I assure you it will be fun! I myself have signed up as sandwich maker for two shifts.
