2025 Mass Intentions

The Holy Cross Parish mass intention book for 2025 is open.

Please review the guidelines on the new mass intention request form found on our website, parish office, and both entrances of the church, as we have made some changes to be in alignment with the policies established by the Archdiocese of St. Boniface for scheduling mass intentions. Please contact the parish office at office@holycrossparish.ca or (204) 233-7367 with any questions. Thank you for your understanding as we try to follow church guidelines, have masses available for the recently deceased and accommodate those who have regular mass intentions.

Please note that mass cards are now $3.00 each and must be paid separately from the mass intention stipend.

*We have mass intention openings for the month of January and February. You may have additional masses said, on a “first-come, first-served” basis, regardless of how many you have already had.

The Rites of Welcome & Acceptance January 18-19, 2025

The Rites of Welcome & Acceptance

We are walking with three teenagers in their RCIA-Teen journey. Since each one is on their own journey, their particular Rite will be celebrated on the weekend of January 18-19.

The Rite of Acceptance marks the beginning of a study and reflection period on their faith, after which they will become catechumens. As catechumens, they will be preparing for Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

The Rite of Welcome prepares a candidate for full membership in the Catholic Church.

Please welcome and pray for these teens as they journey into the Catholic Faith.

Devotions Prior to 7:45am Weekday Masses

There will be a new format of devotions, as below:

• 7:00am – Rosary
• 7:15am – Invitatory and Morning Prayer, from the Church’s Divine Office, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours – which the Church encourages all laity to pray.
• 7:35am – Sacred Silence
• 7:45am – Daily Mass

In order to follow along in this Morning Prayer, in lieu of everyone having to bring their own books, we suggest, for all who are able, to download the free iBreviary app for iPhone or Android phones or iPads/tablets. Then those who are able to use this app can participate in responses. All others may still follow along prayerfully.

We are excited to begin this new initiative, and to join with the prayer of the Church!
