LIVING WATERS COLUMBARIUM is Expanding!
Pre-Installation Opportunity Extended to April 2026!
The current high demand for Columbarium Niches has made it necessary to expand our Niche inventory.  A new 198 niche addition will be located along the large curved wall on the northeast side of the Columbarium.

In preparation for this new addition, we are pleased to now offer a pre-installation opportunity.  During the months of February, March and now April 2026, all Niches on this bank will be offered with a special incentive pricing (some exceptions may apply).  This is a great time to let your family and friends know of this pre-installation opportunity.

In appreciation for any referral resulting in the purchase of a new Niche, Living Waters Columbarium will offer a complimentary Vigil Candle for two designated dates, in memory of your beloved deceased presently entombed or memorialized in the Columbarium.

For more information or to take advantage of this opportunity, please contact Donna at 204-488-3977, to schedule an appointment.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

Next General Meeting – April 21st
The next General Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 21st at 7:00 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room.  Please use the south entrance.

Grocery Card Campaign
Did you know that the way you buy your groceries can also benefit our parish?  The Knights of Columbus Grocery Card Campaign helps us to do exactly that!  Grocery gift cards are available for Superstore, Sobeys, Safeway, Fresh Co, No Frills, Foodland and IGA, and the Knights receive a 5% commission on all gift cards sold, which they then generously donate to the parish at the end of each campaign year.  This year, the Knights have chosen to focus their efforts on making our Meditative Gallery a reality, therefore, the commission earned from grocery cards sales from November 1, 2025 to April 30th, 2026, will go towards the Gallery project.

Please visit the Knights’ table in the Narthex after Sunday Mass and join in the effort!
