To mark the National Week for Life and the Family 2023, Saint John XXIII Parish in Winnipeg will honour and pray for grandparents and the elderly of our parish, families, and community during our annual
“FLORES DE MAYO” FIESTA
SUNDAY, MAY 7, 2023
ROSARY CELEBRATION will be held at 10:15 a.m., i.e. between Masses on Sunday morning.
The INTENTION at the 11:45 a.m. Mass will be offered specifically for grandparents and the elderly of our parish, families, and community.
Following the 11:45 a.m. Mass a parish FAMILY CELEBRATION will be held in the parish hall.
As in previous years, the ROSARY CELEBRATION with the procession of the "AVE MARIA" letters will require the participation of a number of our children and youth.
The FAMILY CELEBRATION after the 11:45 a.m. Mass will include a potluck lunch, music, and some children's activities. The donated food (preferably commercially prepared) will be set up buffet style in room 9 on the east side of the basement hallway.
In the interest of health and food safety, as in previous years arrangements will be made for designated food handlers to serve the food buffet style. For those with food allergies and/or other health concerns, you are welcome to omit the buffet and bring your own bag lunch for your family.
