BEWARE OF NEW EMAIL SCAM!!
Email scams are on the rise again. If you receive an email from the Pastor or any Priest asking for a favour or to run an errand, do not reply to it. Scammers are getting very sophisticated. Always check the email address of the sender, if it's not one you recognize don't reply to it, replying to their email may compromise your computer. If you are uncertain please call the Parish Office.
Dioceses across Canada, in their continuing journey of seeking reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples, have committed to contributing $30 million over five years in new funding to facilitate further reconciliation efforts. The Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall has pledged to raise $1.2 million. The name of our campaign is “A Christ-Centred, Co-Journey Towards Healing.”

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION FIRST FRIDAYS

Catholic Women's League Initiative
Human Trafficking, is the luring of innocent men, women, boys, and girls away from their lives by sweet promises and then imprisoning them in brothels or slavery from which there is no escape and breaks parents’ hearts. It has reared its ugly head again, even in the Ottawa area but A New Day is fighting the scourge and the Catholic Womens’ League of St. John the Apostle is supporting their cause. If you can, please send a donation by:

electronically or Interac to: wgee.anewday@gmail.com
