CELEBRATING 120 YEARS OF FAITH

The Saint Boniface Novena

“Let us stand fast in what is right and prepare our souls for trial.
Let us wait upon God’s strengthening aid and say to Him: ‘O Lord, you have been our refuge in all generations.” Saint Boniface

A spiritual journey for every parishioner.
Join the parishioners of St. Boniface Catholic Church as we celebrate our 120th anniversary by praying the St. Boniface Novena

This year marks a monumental milestone: our 120th Anniversary as St. Boniface Catholic Church! For over a century, generations of families have worshiped, sacrificed, and grown in faith inside our parish. 

To honor this legacy, we are launching a unified, parish-wide 9-day novena leading up to our Feast Day. Let us celebrate our rich history by lifting our voices together as one family, thanking God for our past, and praying for our future. 

  • Honour Our Legacy: Pray in thanksgiving for the generations who built our parish since 1906

  • Strengthen Our Future: Every family, youth, single, and senior is invited to participate. 

  • Ignite Our Mission: Pray for the same missionary zeal and courage that Saint Boniface carried.

St. Boniface Catholic Church was a mission church before 1906, and so Saint Boniface (c. 675–754) is celebrated as our patron saint.
He was a brave missionary and bishop from England who traveled to Germany to share the message of Jesus Christ. Through his preaching, teaching, and leadership, he helped build up the Church by founding churches, organizing communities, and guiding people in the faith.

He is known for his courage, strong faith, and willingness to stand firm in truth, even in difficult and dangerous situations, and he ultimately gave his life for God. Because of his missionary zeal and dedication, he is often called the “Apostle of Germany.”

Saint Boniface remains a great inspiration for our parish today, reminding us to live our faith with courage, to share the Gospel with others, and to continue building a strong and faithful community together.
