Archdiocese of Saint Boniface

Welcome to St Francis of Assisi Parish

Welcome to our faith community in Pinawa! St Francis of Assisi Parish is a vibrant Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface. We gather to celebrate the Eucharist, grow in faith, and serve our neighbors with the love of Christ.

Our parish is served by Fr. Luke Nwoko, M.Ss.Cc., our Parochial Administrator, who also serves the parish of Lac du Bonnet. We are blessed to be part of the rich tradition of the Catholic Church in Manitoba, following in the footsteps of St Francis of Assisi who taught us to see Christ in all creation and to serve with joy and humility.

Whether you are a long-time parishioner, new to our community, or visiting the Pinawa area, we invite you to join us for Mass and to participate in our parish life. All are welcome!

Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
