Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: June 8, 2025
Last Wednesday the St. John CWL had their meeting and communion fellowship. As guest speaker, they invited Rebecca Atkinson who holds office in Winkler as the regional coordinator of Alzheimer Society in Manitoba. I wish more women in our parish would accept the CWL’s invitation to attend their events like this. Last Wednesday I have learned a lot about dementia of which Alzheimer is the most common kind, how to prevent it, and above all, how to relate or take care with loved ones who are suffering from the disease……….. Mrs. Atkinson talked of entering into the world of the person with Alzheimer. For example, if he is wearing a winter parka on a summer day, you don’t forcibly yank the parka off of him or nag him about it. The best way is to affirm him how good he looks with it, then maybe invite him for a walk and after a while ask if he feels warm and want to take the parka off. It is then that you can take the parka off him and hide it away……….. While listening to Mrs. Atkinson, I have a sudden insight how similar it is to the Incarnation. Humanity is suffering from dementia. We have forgotten what paradise is like; we have forgotten what life with God is. To lead us back, God has to enter into our world………..
