o Due to the shortage of parking at the Church during mass times, some parishioners park in the lot across from the Church, and dash across Merivale Road. This is an accident waiting to happen.
o The National Capital Commission is adding 30 parking spots to our existing lot to accommodate those using the new NCC trail
o We are creating 10 handicapped parking spots on the north side of the Church
o The cost of repairing the lot continues to rise; estimates rose from approx. $90,000 (2005) to $135,000 (2009) |

Euthanasia: An Important Update |
|
|
|
Sunday, 21 June 2009 21:20 |
|
On May 13th, 2009, MP Francine Lalonde, Bloc Quebecois, introduced her private member’s Bill C-384, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (right to die with dignity), to legalize Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide in Canada. As Catholic Christians and citizens of this country, we need to become informed about this Bill, what its implications are for us all, and what we can do to voice our opposition to it. The following organizations provide excellent resource information on this urgent matter: The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (www.colf.ca) The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (www.euthanasiaprevention.on.ca ) We invite you to visit these websites, and to contact your MP by phone, personal letter or with a face-to-face meeting over the summer months. For those without internet access, there are a few copies of Bill C-384 and related articles on the table in the foyer, and one posted on the bulletin board at the side entrance to the Church. |

This celebration marks the anniversary of the foundation of our Diocese. All are invited to the celebration at Notre Dame Cathedral, this Thursday, June 25th at 7:30pm. The closing of the year of St. Paul will be one of the highlights of this celebration. Please note that you can receive the Special Indulgence for the Pauline year during this mass.

To Father Dan Dubroy, Brendan Kelly, and to you the people of St. Monica Parish, I most sincerely thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you the 50th anniversary of my ordination to the Priesthood. I truly appreciate your kindness, the beautiful plaque of the Lord, and the many cards and gifts you so generously presented to me. A very special “thank you” to Franz Gierer who prepared such a delicious and wonderful banquet following the Mass. To all, thank you and let us pray for one another. ~ Father Arthur Ockwood, MSF For all your best wishes, cards and gifts on the occasion of my 30th anniversary of ordination to the Order of Deacons, I express my most sincere thank you. Serving the church and the people of God for all these years has been such a privilege. To those who organized the reception and the many who attended it I offer a very special thank you. Your support of Mary Lynne & I is overwhelming. May God continue to bless you all. ~ Deacon Ray Lamarche |

Many people doubt the value of the human race; the Word of God came into the world as one of us to re-create and to affirm the tremendous value of our troubled humanity. Catholics celebrate the Lord coming to share in our humanity, every day in the Eucharist. Would you like to join us at the table of the Lord’s Eucharist but can’t because you are not Catholic? Want to do something about it? Contact Deacon Yves Trottier 613-946-1510 (daytime) or 613-837-9380 (evenings & weekends). |
