Do you live in the Archdiocese of Ottawa? If
so, how is your Archbishop? Is he getting close to retiring? When
might that happen? Are you praying for his imminent replacement?
Should you be?
PLEASE PRAY for archbishop Gervais, his decision, and then his
replacement. Let’s all pray that God’s will be done and that Mother
Mary’s right bishop will shepherd us here!

is very papal and Vatican filled this week. This week’s Lighterside
is also from Tim. It seems that although he has his own page,
sometimes he still wants to add to the other pages

Corner for information on a large used book sale to be held
this Saturday and Sunday (April 22/23) at the Nepean Sportsplex

Request Prayer for Companions of the Cross May
Assembly
Greetings.
The Companions of the Cross will meet in formal
'Assembly' the first week of
May near Ottawa (May 1st-5th). This gathering will bring together
all of the priests of our community and many of our seminarians
as well. At this special meeting, which takes place once every
six years, matters affecting our community's life, vision, and
ministry will be addressed, various amendments to our constitutions
and rules discerned and voted upon, and a new Executive Council
elected. We are kindly asking all of our supporters to please
keep this upcoming Assembly in your prayers. Seek the Lord's blessing
and wisdom for us, so that there will be a smooth resolution to
the many important matters that will be discussed and voted upon.
If you feel so inclined, we are even inviting some of you to 'sign
up' for a half-hour of intercessory prayer for us during our Assembly.
Here you can find a special link to a page on our Companions'
web site explaining how you can sign up to be a part of this 'prayer
vigil':

p.s. - Those of you in the Ottawa-area are invited
to our 'Foundation Day Mass' on Friday, May 5th at 7:30 p.m. in
St. Mary's Church. It will be a great opportunity to meet many
of our 'out-of-town' CC priests and seminarians! It will also
be your first opportunity to meet our newly elected Executive
Council. A reception will follow in the parish hall. Hope to see
many of you there! |

Hi Jim,
I thought this would be very informative to include on Virtual
Ministry if of course it’s already there.

Use of Human Cell Lines
in Pharmaceuticals - Canada
Various commercially available pharmaceutical products
are derived from or cultivated on fetal cells lines that were obtained
from abortions. Patients may have a biological, ethical or religious
objection to products that come from human sources. The chart below
allows us to provide information to patients to make informed decisions.
It also makes known the fact the alternatives are available in other
countries and should be available in Canada. |
