NEW - Photo Gallery – Ordination of Daniel Bahuaud and David Foidart to the Permanent Diaconate

Parishioners of Blessed Sacrament and Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens, family, friends and colleagues, priests as well as permanent deacons from both Saint-Boniface and Winnipeg archdioceses were on hand to witness the ordination of Daniel Bahuaud and David Foidart to the Permanent Diaconate.

The solemn Mass, presided by Archbishop Albert LeGatt, was an opportunity for all to better understand the call to service of all deacons in the Church and in the wider world, through both Bishop LeGatt’s homily and the liturgy itself.

“A warm thank you for those who attended, most notably our families. A special thank you to archbishop Legatt, the diaconate formation team and our pastors, Christian Mutombo and Gerry Sembrano. We thank all the faithful who prayed for us and encouraged us throughout our five years of formation. If our ordination was a powerful moment of our lives – and it certainly was – we both realize that it was but one day. And so, we now look forward to rolling up our sleeves to love and serve the Lord with our lives.” - Daniel Bahuaud and David Foidart

NEW - Photo Gallery – Diocesan Multicultural Mass 2026

The Archdiocese of Saint Boniface was in a festive mood on July 1 during the diocesan multicultural Mass held at Saint Boniface Cathedral. The entire cathedral was packed with people for this special Eucharistic celebration, which highlighted the cultural diversity of our archdiocese, not to mention Christian hope. In his homily, Archbishop LeGatt emphasized that each of us must contribute to building our country—through our choices, our actions, our rejection of division, and above all, our love for our neighbor.

 The Mass was followed by musical performances and a selection of delicious dishes representative of the many cultures in our parishes. And no rain, either! What a wonderful way to celebrate Canada Day!

Archbishop LeGatt On the Spiritual Meaning of Sports

In this month’s message, Archbishop Albert reflects on the spiritual meaning of sport. After last weekend’s Good Shepherd Cup in our diocese, and as the FIFA World Cup brings people together around the world, we are reminded that sport can be more than a game. It can build friendship, joy, teamwork, and unity. In a world that is hurting and divided, sport can help us remember that we are all part of one human family, called by God to walk together in hope.

And while God doesn't take sides--we sure do ;) Go Team Canada!

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

 - Psalm 133:1

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Because of your incredible coordination, organization, and generous sponsorship, the Good Shepherd Cup 2026 soccer match and community event on June 18th was a resounding success.

From the unveiling of the team jerseys by Archbishop Albert LeGatt on June 17th in the presence of the Council of Priests and Knights of Columbus members, to the final whistle of the tournament, the Holy Spirit truly blessed our gathering. Almost 60 Players and 350 parishioners, including many cheering children, came together at 6:30 PM to celebrate community and sportsmanship within the St. Boniface Archdiocese. People were very generous, and we raised $ 271.00 for the Good Shepherd campaign by hosting the Good Shepherd Cup.”

Photo Gallery & Video – Marriage Catechumenate Workshops

The Archdiocese of Saint Boniface and the Archdiocese of Winnipeg recently partnered to host two Marriage Catechumenate Workshops, bringing together clergy and lay pastoral leaders from both Archdioceses to reflect on and strengthen the Church’s pastoral approach to marriage and family life.

Held on April 16 and April 18, 2026, the workshops invited participants to explore lifelong formation for the vocation of marriage and the Church’s mission of accompanying couples and families in faith and with pastoral support throughout every stage of life.

We are grateful to all who attended and contributed to these synodal days of learning, dialogue, and renewal. The strong participation from both Archdioceses was a testament to our shared commitment to supporting marriages and families in our local Churches.

Special thanks to Julia M. Dezelski, consultant to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Laity, Family & Life for her inspiring presentations, insightful guidance, and generous contribution to these workshops.
