*NEW* COVID-19 Restrictions – Code Red Alert prolonged - until January 22, 2021
Please note that the entire province will maintain the Red Level Alert until at least January 22. Restrictions
on religious gatherings and the functioning of our churches have not changed, however. Therefore, no
religious gatherings are permitted. To read the latest version of the document, Code Red Alert COVID-19

*NEW* Together, we have surpassed the Good Shepherd Campaign objective!
In fact, the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface has collected more than $375,000 in support
of the 2020 Good Shepherd Campaign ending on January 31, 2021. We have surpassed
the goal of $275,000 set in the fall by $100,000. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the
1,055 donors who contributed to the campaign and to the parishes that promoted it.
Thanks to you, the Archdiocese’s deficit for the fiscal year of February 1, 2020, through
January 31, 2021, will be less than what was projected in the early months of the
pandemic. Further details about the campaign results will be published in the
Archdiocese of Saint Boniface’s annual report.
The donations collected through the campaign are used to support the formation and
pastoral internship program of our seminarians and the archdiocesan response to the
COVID-19 pandemic in support of its parishes. For further information on the 2020 Good Shepherd Campaign, please click on
the following link: Archdiocese of Saint Boniface - 2020 Good Shepherd Campaign (archsaintboniface.ca).

*NEW* Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – January 18 – 24, 2021
Every year, during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Christian communities
and churches join together to pray for the visible unity of the Church, according to
the will of Christ who prayed on the eve of his suffering and death “that they may all
be one… so that the world may believe” (John 17:21). Prayer for Christian unity is a
sharing in the prayer of Jesus who desires his disciples to share the Good News of
God’s love in every time and place.
Our customary way of marking the Week of Prayer here in Winnipeg with a City-
Wide Ecumenical Service and other services throughout the week has been
curtailed this year due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, we are still
invited to practice a heightened “spiritual ecumenism” during this annual weeklong
observance, even if the form of our public and private praying for unity must be
adapted to the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
Events and activities:
Winnipeg Livestream Celebration for the Week of Prayer 2021: Uploaded from
Saint John XXIII Church: Monday, January 18 at 7:30 PM. Livestreaming and music to begin at approximately 7:20 PM. For

*REMINDER* COVID-19 Vaccines - Moral Questions and Principles
Is it OK for a Catholic to be vaccinated against COVID-19? The short answer is: yes, it is. Yet there are many
reasons to ask this question. The moral issue arises from the fact that vaccine development and testing often
make use of cell lines derived from either the tissue of aborted fetuses or destroyed human embryos. We
invite you to explore some resources that can help us all reflect and deepen our understanding of Catholic
bioethics, as well as pray for the application of the best medical practices in fighting COVID-19! To read, click here
