The Good Shepherd Campaign 2024

The Good Shepherd Campaign 2024 – For the Life of the Church!

VIDEO – Bishop LeGatt – Vocations, For the Life of the Church!
If you’ve visited one of our churches recently, you’ve probably noticed the posters announcing the Good Shepherd Campaign 2024! The chosen theme this year, For the Life of the Church, celebrates the many vocations the campaign has promoted since its conception. Thus, Monseigneur proposes us a reflection on the priestly vocations supported by the Campaign, but also on the broader vocations to which each person is called. Truly, we all have a vocation and through that vocation Christ calls us to be his hands and feet on the Earth. Let us continue to pray for vocations in in our Archdiocese and for our personal vocations too, that we may continue to be good stewards of the gifts and talents the Lord calls us to use.

To view the video, click here or visit the diocesan Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/ArchSaintBoniface/ or visit the diocesan website homepage at: www.archsaintboniface.ca

Please pray for our seminarians as they discern God’s will in their lives and as they continue their journey toward the priesthood.

Unveiling the Gospels – September 12, 2024 to December 12, 2024

Many people struggle to understand and even just read the four gospels one after the other. During the course, you will explore not only the 4 gospels but also an exciting in-depth look at your Catholic faith, who the writers were, their audience, their objective, and most importantly, who Jesus was to each of them. Have you heard of the 18 Miracles in St. Mark’s Gospel, or the five main discourses in St. Matthew’s Gospel, or did you know that tradition holds that St. Luke was not only a great writer but also a painter and sculptor and that to understand St. John’s Gospel one could benefit from reading Genesis and the 1^st Letter of St. John?

Unveiling the Gospels Bible Study with Melvin & Maria De Paz, will be happening Thursdays starting September 12 to December 12, 2024, with fellowship beginning at 6:30pm in the church basement. Cost is $20.00 for all 14 weeks. Please bring a Bible, notebook, or paper and pen. Refreshments and snacks will be provided. Space is already filling up fast.

To register click here or for more information, please  contact Melvin & Maria De Paz at 204-895-7544.

Holy Cross Parish Men’s Group – “Into the Breach” Starting November 20, 2024

Attention men of Holy Cross! All men ages 18 and up are invited to the Holy Cross Men’s Faith Sharing and Prayer Group, which meets on the 1^st and 3^rd Wednesday of the every month at 7:00pm in the church. Video presentation, faith sharing, and discussion, closing with the holy rosary. We learn, we share, we discuss, and we pray.

Please contact Charles at (204) 235-1725 or cppref@mymts.net  or Christophe at (431) 866-5138 or cmaguet@hotmail.com for more information.

Starting Wednesday, November 20^th, the Holy Cross Men’s Group is planning on introducing the “Into the Breach” program during the Advent season.

Into the Breach is a 12-episode video series produced by the Knights of Columbus. This video series seeks to answer the question of what it means to be a man and how to live as a man in today’s world. It is inspired by the Apostolic Exhortation for Catholic men written by Bishop Thomas Olmsted of the Diocese of Phoenix.  The goal of Into the Breach is to help men grow in their faith and become the men that God is calling them to be.

The 12 episodes are titled: Masculinity, Brotherhood, Leadership, Fatherhood, Family, Life, Prayer, Suffering, Sacramental Life, Spiritual Warfare, Evangelization, and The Cornerstone.

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!
