Summer Chapels
In order to allow the people of God entrusted to the Church of Saint Boniface to continue gathering to celebrate Sunday Eucharist in the lake areas during the summer months, the Archdiocese calls upon some of its priests to provide this ministry. In the absence of a priest, the local community gathers for a Liturgy of the Word presided by a deacon or a designated lay leader.
