Help Our Parish
You are invited to help with our parish social activities. Help is needed for Coffee Sundays; within the Bereavement Committee that provides funeral receptions and other social receptions such as for the Memorial Mass in November; First Communion and Confirmation receptions; as well as many other parish events over the course of the Pastoral Year. The first step would be to contact the parish office, or simply speak to someone already serving within these ministries. Please consider this invitation. If you hear the call and follow through by contributing, it will make our parish strong.

In Flanders Fields
(BY JOHN MCCRAE)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is our parish’s unique way of reaching out to bring support and comfort to individuals with a gift of a prayer shawl.
What is a Prayer Shawl? A Prayer Shawl is either knitted or crocheted following simple instructions by one of the ladies in our ministry group with prayers for the needs of the potential recipient. When completed each shawl is blessed by Deacon Yves Trottier. In essence, each shawl represents the caring and support of our parish and symbolizes a hug from God.
Who can receive a prayer shawl? Simply put, it is anyone including men, women, children, young and old in your family, your friends or your community, regardless of faith, who is experiencing a serious illness, loss of a loved one or an emotional upheaval. A shawl can also be given for happier occasions such as the birth of a child, a celebration or appreciation.
Would you like to request a shawl? Requests for shawls can be made through the parish office or by contacting Roberta (613-523-0538). You can arrange to pick one up from the office or have it delivered. regardless of faith
To date our parish has gifted more than 150 shawls to individuals locally, across Canada and as far away as Poland the Philippines and beyond. Those who have received a shawl have commented on the impact of the shawl and its meaning to them and their family in terms of comfort, warmth and peace.
Would you like to help? To continue the work of the Prayer Shawl Ministry we are seeking new members. If you knit or crochet and would like to share your talent, please contact the parish office or Roberta. Shawl patterns and yarn are available. You can also contribute through donations of yarn or money by going through the parish office. Thank you for your consideration.
