Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: May 4, 2024
Thanks to your prayers, the priests of the archdiocese together with Archbishop LeGatt have had a wonderful retreat. The theme of the spiritual exercise was “Under the Sun of Saint John”, and our retreat master, Bishop AlbertThevenot, led us through reflections on the life and ministry of the priest basing on episodes from the Gospel of St. John. His talks were generously peppered with illustrations from his own experiences as missionary in Africa and as bishop in St. Albert.……….. Sometimes Mass intentions are not printed on the parish bulletin because these intentions were submitted late. To facilitate in assigning your particular intentions to the Mass during the coming week/s, a form is provided on the table at the foyer. Kindly indicate the intention – e.g., eternal repose of a de-ceased family member, healing from illness, finding employment, birthday thanksgiving, etc. - the preferred date for the Mass, and the name of the one requesting the Mass. If you want to give an offering, you may use the envelope for that purpose……….. What is a Mass intention? A Mass intention refers to the ministerial fruit of the Mass. The fruits of the Mass are classified into three: personal, general, and ministerial. The personal fruit of the Mass refers to the graces received by the priest and the people participating in the Mass. These graces are given for the increase in holiness and perseverance in their respective vocations. Personal fruit cannot be passed on to others not attending the Mass, but only for those participating in it. General fruit of the Mass refers to the graces bestowed on the whole Church at the actual moment of offering the Mass. These graces are distributed depending on the needs and disposi-tions of the different parts of the Church all over the world. Finally, the ministerial fruit of the Mass refers to the individual intention of the priest. As the minister, he has the power to apply the fruit of the sacrament to a particular need. When a parishioner asks a priest to offer a Mass for a particular intention, the priest makes that intention his own……….. The fruits of the Mass are infinite, but our capacity to receive those fruits is finite. That is why, for example, we need to offer several Masses for our dear dead.
