Welcome to The Roman Catholic Parish of Saint John the Evangelist | Archdiocese of Saint Boniface
Update: May 12, 2024
Happy Mothers’ Day to all moms in our parish! God bless you for all your sacrifices to your families……….The Parish Building Committee will soon conduct a survey to assess the parishioners’ needs and wants with regards to future developments of church facilities. In the meantime, I would like to urge everyone to maximize occupancy inside the church during services by sitting more closely in the pews.………. The Registration Period for the Catechism Program 2024 – 2025 begins today, May 12, and ends on August 26. I have instructed our Catechists (who, by the way, are all
volunteers!) to be a little strict on the registration deadline. Having been a teacher myself, I know it messes up the syllabus every time the lessons are adjusted in order to accommodate late enrolees. Backtracking can be difficult for the other children who have already advanced in the lessons. You may register your children online on the parish website or by filling up the printed forms available at the church foyer.……….. It is our desire that the parish can provide our children the best catechetical program. By “best” we mean and integrated – each grade level is progressively connected to each other. I am so thankful for our catechists for making this possible. There are currently 5 of them, and there are other 2 who might be joining next opening. Many parishes in the archdiocese are not so blessed; they are finding it hard to have somebody teach catechesis to their kids. So, I exhort parents to take advantage of our blessing. It’s sad, for example, that some parents are no longer enrolling their kids after First Holy Communion. Maybe the next time they enrol them is for Confirmation prep class, thus skipping the Post- Communion Class and Pre-Confirmation Class! Without these intermediate classes, it would be hard for the children to retain what they have learned and absorb the more advanced lessons in Confirmation prep Class. So, I appeal to parents that you counter the sacrifices of our catechists by bringing your children to catechism classes in all levels. It is for the children’s spiritual good and ours too! God will certainly ho
