Serra Club of Winnipeg - Serra Club Dinner Coordinator
The Serra Club of Winnipeg is looking for someone to take on the job of the Annual Serra Club Dinner, which is usually held in October of each year. The purpose of the dinner is to raise money and help defray the costs for priests entering the seminary. In the past years, the Serra Club has managed to do the job. However, many of the older Serrans have passed away. This problem, coupled with a lack of interest in membership, has left the Serra Club with no one who would take on the job. Keep in mind that there is help – a lot of help. There just isn’t a main person to send out letters in August, keep track of the money and people attending, and, in the last 2 or 3 days, make up the seating for the dinner. This is the main and most important job and the one we would like to fill. The Serra Club has sponsored this dinner for at least 40 years and has supported the Archbishop. It is really a shame to see this work end. If you have the ability or know of someone who does, please contact Marlene Coughlin at (204) 471- 4609.
Organ Available!
St. Michael's Parish in Gimli is giving away an organ! The organ is an old Hallman electric organ that was manufactured in Waterloo, Ontario. It requires a few repairs to make it play properly. It is free for pickup in St. Michael's Church in Gimli. If interested, please contact Chris Magnusson at 204-642-7435.

LiveLoud Worship Event - May 19, 2024
Be inspired and moved by the power of music and faith! Join this one-of-a-kind worship night celebrating faith through music - an experience to remember for all attending. Liveloud Worship is an advocacy that promotes and declares the Word through Catholic music. The movement began in 2009 as an avenue to create and promote original music and soon after evolved into an annual worship concert. While its main thrust continues to be sharing God's love and the beauty of the faith through music, Liveloud is also meant to be a way of life: living each day according to our identity as children of God. Over the years, Liveloud has been able to expand its reach to many different countries all over the world. It was in 2012 that Liveloud in Canada began and it has since held its worship concerts/nights in cities across Canada and recently led two worships during World Youth Day in Portugal.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
There will be a Catholic Expo from 5:00 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. (Open to the public)
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Concert starts at 7:00 p.m.

The Walk for Life - June 2, 2024
Life Culture’s annual Walk for Life (KR Barkman Park, 515 Main St., Steinbach) is a celebration of life and Manitoba’s largest pro-life walk! We invite you to a BBQ at 1 p.m. The walk begins at 2 p.m. This event is a tangible way to show love to single moms. A great way your church can get involved is by collecting baby items and gift cards during the month of May and bringing them to the walk on June 2nd. People brought so many items last year that we were able to share what we received with other organizations in Steinbach and Winnipeg. What an incredible way to live a pro-life ethic! Another way to get involved is for pastors to preach a life-affirming message the day of the walk, then encourage your congregation to attend the walk. Just as a reminder, the walk is not a protest, but rather is a way to celebrate and affirm the inherent value of life. To view the poster, click here.
