Assumption Church Choir

choir The Assumption Church Choir sings at the 10:30 am mass on Sunday of each week. We practice every Monday evening at 7 pm.
If you like to sing and can carry a tune, then why not come and see how much fun you can have by not only attending mass but also singing the praises of God.

The choir adjourns for the summer after Father’s Day which is the third Sunday of June and will resume again after the Labour Day weekend in September. Our source of reference is CBW 111 hymnal, which is in most Churches. The choir is directed by Joan Lepage, and if you are interested, kindly contact the Parish Office at 613.746.8503 who in turn will redirect your request to Joan Lepage.

Parish Pastoral Committee

The Parish Council is the main governing body of the parish in the sense that it monitors, sets policy and makes decisions regarding the operation of the parish and the management of its assets. Parish council meetings are held on every third Thursday (7:00 pm) of each month, with the exception of July, August and December. Council meetings are open to all parishioners.

The Council consists of the Parish Priest, a Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, and representatives of the various parish committees.
The representatives of the committees are appointed by their committee; the other members (Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary) are elected.
The Council does not operate in isolation of other committees, but rather forms the umbrella over all of them.

Attending Parish Council meetings is a good way to stay in touch which everything that is going on in the parish.
