2025 Mass/Picinic Event is Cancelled for this year.....
We regret to inform you that this year's annual mass and picnic at Ste. Elizabeth will be cancelled, as we are unable to find a priest to celebrate Mass. Each year, it has become increasingly difficult to secure a priest for the event. It is equally as difficult to get deacons that are also replacing aging priests and with their summer holiday schedules.
Please continue to visit the church and use it for your own family reunions and events. The grounds will continue to be maintained and hopefully we can resume our event next year. The committee has every intention of continuing with this picnic but with a slightly different program in mind. Please don't give up on us and stay tuned for more information.
Because of your generous donations in the past, we continue to have funds available, which will be used to maintain the church grounds and support planned interior renovations as needed.
We are also looking for additional committee members. If anyone is interested in joining us, please contact our president, Gabriel Collette at 204-955-5660.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
Warm regards,
The Elizabeth Historical Committee

Nous regrettons de vous informer que la messe annuelle et le pique-nique à Ste. Elizabeth de cette année seront annulés, car nous ne sommes pas en mesure de trouver un prêtre pour célébrer la messe. Chaque année, il devient de plus en plus difficile de trouver un prêtre disponible pour l’événement. Il est tout aussi difficile de faire appel aux diacres, qui remplacent également les prêtres vieillissants, et qui ont des horaires de vacances d’été chargés.
Nous vous encourageons à continuer de visiter l’église et à l’utiliser pour vos réunions de famille et autres événements. Le terrain sera entretenu comme toujours, et nous espérons pouvoir reprendre notre événement l’année prochaine. Le comité a bien l’intention de poursuivre cette tradition du pique-nique, mais avec un programme légèrement différent en tête. Ne nous abandonnez pas et restez à l’écoute pour plus de nouvelles.
Grâce à vos généreux dons au fil des ans, nous disposons encore de fonds, qui seront utilisés pour l’entretien du terrain de l’église ainsi que pour soutenir les rénovations intérieures prévues, au besoin.
Nous sommes également à la recherche de nouveaux membres pour notre comité. Si vous êtes intéressé(e) à vous joindre à nous, veuillez communiquer avec notre président, Gabriel Collette, au 204-955-5660.
Merci pour votre compréhension et votre soutien continu.
Sincèrement,
Le Comité historique de Ste-Elizabeth
Another great picnic!
Our 2024 picnic which was held this past Sunday, August 25 was yet again a success. There were approximately 150 people in attendance and we're happy to say that the weather cooperated. The cleanup crew did a fantastic job on Saturday... like a well-oiled machine, everyone had their job to accomplish; whether it was clearing out the cobwebs, washing floors, cleaning pews, patching holes and decorating...the job got done. And let's not forget André Collette who takes care of the church grounds and the cemetery. Great job!
Thank you so much to Deacon Gilles Urquhart who presided over our 'bilingual' celebration. We were also blessed to have Marie Nayet as our musician and singer. Wow...what a beautiful voice! Our cross bearers, Gisèle and Allan Labossière started off the celebration by walking up with the cross. It was only fitting to have them for this task as they were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and were married in Ste. Elizabeth. Please take the time to look through the online pictures by following this link. Thank you for your participation. It's because of you that this event is a success.
La messe et pique-nique à Ste-Elizabeth a eu lieu ce dimanche, le 25 août et nous sommes content du succès, avec environ 150 participants. La température était aussi favorable. Merci à tout ceux qui sont venues nettoyer samedi. On doit aussi remercier André Collette qui entretient le terrain autour de l'église ainsi que le cimetière. C'est tellement beau!
Merci au diacre Gilles Urquhart qui a présidé notre célébration ainsi que Marie Nayet pour sa belle voix. Ses talents de musicienne et chanteuse sont magnifique. Merci à nos porteurs de croix, Gisèle et Allan Labossière...un rôle approprié pour ce couple car ils célèbrent leur 60ième anniversaire et c'est dans cette église qu'ils se sont mariés. Veuillez prendre le temps de regarder aux photos en suivants ce lien. Merci de votre participation. C'est grâce à vous que ce fut un succès.
À l'année prochaine!

2023 Mass\Picnic was a success!
Thank you to all those who participated in this year's event, whether you attended the mass and/or the picnic, we were happy to see everyone...especially after 3 years of not being able to hold it. Father Armand Legal of Holy Family Parish in Winnipeg wore many hats. Not only did he officiate the mass but he was also the musician and lead singer! The choir, which was in fact everyone in attendance, was simply inspirational. Hope to see you again next year. Please take the time to look at the pictures of this event.

Posted on Facebook, July 17th - Just to update friends and past parishioners, last weekend the Historical Committe got together in Ste. Elizabeth for a long, overdue meeting to discuss the present and future of our ongoing relationship with Ste. Liz. After the meeting, we rolled up our sleeves and got busy (some on clean up duty while others patched up and replaced damaged walls due to roof leaking prior to roof repairs.
Every year (with the exception of 2020, 21 & 22) we usually send out an email advising everyone regarding the Annual Mass/Picnic. But because of unforseen circumstances, the organization of this event his been on the back burner. (Committee members fulfulling their bucket list items, other members tending to their loved ones, or just being busy with grandchildren and every day activities.)
The committe is back in action! This is short notice but, we are planning on having this event. It will either be on August 20th or on the 27th. We are simply waiting to secure a priest or deacon. As soon as we have more information, we will send it out. We are aware that a lot of you may have already scheduled other activities but for those that haven't....we would really love to see you in Ste. Elizabeth....soon. Thank you! More info to come. Please share this with friends and family.
Mass\Picnic Cancelled from 2020 - 2022

Stay Safe! Prenez soin de vous et restez en sécurité!
2019 Annual Mass and Picnic
This year, the mass and picnic in Ste-Elizabeth which took place on Sunday, August 25th was a success despite the weather. Father Armand Le Gal and singer, Jeannine Guyot, delivered a very inspirational mass, with the voice of God in the background. Wow...very moving! As usual, mass was followed by a picnic. Luckily the rain had subsided by then and most people enjoyed their meal outdoors while others chose to eat inside. Thanks to everyone who participated and attended this yearly event. Our ancestors would be very proud of us all! Please take the time to look at the pictures in the 2019 - Picnic Photo Album.
Le pique-nique annuel à Ste-Elizabeth a eu lieu dimanche, le 25 août. Malgré la pluie...l'événement fut un succès! Un grand merci à tous d'être venus si nombreux. Nous souhaitons aussi remercier le Père Armand Le Gal et Jeannine Guyot qui ont rendus la célébration très animé. Nos ancêtres seraient très fiers de nous! Veuillez prendre un moment pour regarder aux photos de 2019.
