Parish Community LIfe

Our Parish and Community Life ministries support our community needs with opportunities to come together in fellowship, in fun, and in support of each other to strengthen our bonds as the family of God. The activities of these ministries provide opportunities for social gatherings, sharing in faith and giving support to members of our community in times of difficulty.

For more information contact the Coordinator, Carmel Wrinn, through the parish at 613.746.8503.

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.

Temporal Committee

The committee is responsible for ensuring the financial stability of the parish, the finance committee members provide counsel to the pastor on financial matters pertaining to the parish. This counsel includes, but is not necessarily limited to the following: assistance in the development of the annual parish budget; review of the monthly financial statements (actual versus budget); the review and approval of various parish committee budgets; the review and approval of requests for major capital expenditures. They also assist the pastor in other special income requirements.

The committee meets regularly and continually seeks new ideas and insights toward the challenge of ongoing parish fiscal stability.
