Multicultural Mass 2026

Come experience the world in our Archdiocesan grounds! Bring your lawn chair + picnic blanket and enjoy with family and friends!

The Archdiocese of St. Boniface warmly invites everyone to our Annual Multicultural Mass and Celebration on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. This will be a joyful gathering that celebrates the rich cultural diversity of our local Church.

We will begin with a mass presided by Archbishop Albert Legatt at 10:30 a.m. featuring a multilingual choir followed by our Multicultural Celebration from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the Archdiocesan grounds.

Shortly aftermass, the celebration will continue with cultural displays, open stage performances, music, bouncy castle, activities for kids and families, and a chance to try snacks and refreshments from different parts of the world.

This annual celebration is a beautiful opportunity for our communities to come together in faith, unity, and joy—honouring the many cultures that enrich our Archdiocese. We warmly encourage parishes and cultural organizations to attend and participate, whether through presence, cultural representation, or performance.

We look forward to celebrating with you and witnessing the vibrant diversity of our Archdiocese together.

Ways to Participate in the Multicultural Mass

Each culture/community is invited to send 2 youth representatives (preferably one male and one female) dressed in traditional attire. Participants will process at the beginning of Mass carrying or wearing a sash identifying the culture, community, or country they represent.

A representative from your community will be invited to proclaim an intercession in your native language during Mass, while the English translation is projected for the assembly.
