This weekend and next St. Monica Parish is hosting a seminar on Parish Finance Councils conducted by a renowned professor Fr. Francis Morrisey, OMI. This seminar will cover the roles and responsibilities of the finance councils and application of the financial protocol for parishes which was published by the Archdiocese of Ottawa. We welcome all members of finance councils of other parishes participating in the seminar. We are also grateful to Fr. Morrisey for accepting our invitation to conduct it.

The Proximo Travel company of USA who donated two free airline tickets for our golf tournament in 2010 agreed with the parish to organize a foreign pilgrimage tour as a fundraiser for the parish. A special committee has been set up to organize a tour of Italy, and a pilgrimage to the See of St. Peter and a few other shrines of Italy and Lourdes, in the fall for our parish and other parishes. This is a good opportunity to respond to the Holy Father's invitation to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Shrine in the Year of Faith. Our tour will be right before the beginning of the Year of Faith which would give a good chance to start the year with a renewed experience of faith. I would like to encourage as many parishioners as possible to join the tour. Details of this tour can be found on the bulletin insert and on the posters in the church. Please spread the word around and get your friends and family to join you in this tour.

May God bless you.

Fr. Freely
