We are formally known as Lutheran Church–Canada Financial Ministries, founded in 1983, better known by our trademark name, Lutheran Foundation Canada. The Foundation was formed to assist the member entities of Synod to manage, conserve, and be responsible for all legacies, bequests, endowments, foundations, annuity gifts, and all other trust funds of Synod. This service extends to all congregations, auxiliaries and service organizations that support the mission and ministry of Lutheran Church Canada.In the early part of this decade, it was decided to merge the District foundations into the Synodical foundation, thereby providing a single point of reference for foundation activity within LCC, improved service to individual members, and significant savings in management due to economies of scale. The Foundation's Board of Directors consists of two appointees from each District, three appointees by the Synod, and two advisory members - the President and Treasurer of Synod.In summary, the Foundation exists to support the various organizations of LCC, by soliciting major gifts for these organizations, primarily as part of an individual's Christian estate plan
Liturgy of the EucharistPlease note that for the next two years, the Archdiocesan focus will now be on 'Building Community.'During winter and spring flu season and throughout the year, many people avoid shaking hands in order to minimize transmission of colds and flu. Parishioners should not feel obligated to shake hands for the greeting during the Gathering Rite and the 'Peace' greeting during the Mass. Nor should anyone feel hurt if their neighbour does not extend their hand. It is important to show care and friendliness, but there are many other ways: a brief nod, a respectful bow, or a cheerful smile are all perfectly acceptable. Archdiocesan guidelines for H1N1 ('swine') flu precautions were promulgated in September 2010 for liturgy and for parish operations . 'Stage 1' precautions were put in place in 2009 but have since been suspended by the Archbishop's office. However, it is stressed that we should continue using hand sanitizers in the church and maintain good hygiene practices.Outside Volunteer OpportunitiesAssist people living in personal care homes in our area: Volunteers respond to varied needs, including assisting residents to come to Mass when it is held in their residence

RCCG WinnipegRCCG Winnipeg first began at 2791 Pembina Hwy (i.e. where Bank of Montreal Fort Richmond branch is currently located). In 2002 the church relocated from 2791 Pembina Hwy to 2989 Pembina Hwy at the request of the property owner of 2791 Pembina Hwy. After this move, the property at 2791 Pembina Hwy was leased to a night club house called twilight zone; Pastor Joseph Okunnu and the other members of the church confessed that the building would rather be called Holy Ghost zone.The Church began to grow and expand while at 2989 Pembina Hwy, so the church made its third move to 50 Barnes street Winnipeg, in January 2003. The building was rented from the World Wide Bible Church. RCCG Winnipeg moved when World Wide church started Sunday morning service, which would have left us with the evening service. In October 2003, the church was once again relocated to its original place of worship 2791 Pembina hwy. In April 2005, the church moved to 51 Richfield Avenue, renting the building from Bible Church of God.
When unable to receive Holy Communion, one can make a Spiritual Communion. This is an act expressing what was described by St. Thomas Aquinas as an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament and in lovingly embracing Him.
