Blessing of Cars – St. Christopher’s Day
After Sunday Masses on the Weekend of July 20th – 21st
There will be a St. Christopher’s Day blessing of cars at the parish after Sunday Masses on July 20th and 21st.
St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers and of children. He is one of the most popular Saints of the East and West. There are many legends concerning this Saint. One of the most popular of them holds that St. Christopher was a giant who helped people across a raging stream. It is believed that he carried the Christ Child across this same stream. Hence, his name Christopher, Christ-bearer. He is Patron of motorists, and is invoked against storms, plagues, etc. He died a Martyr during the reign of Decius in the 3rd century and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers invoked for emergencies or afflictions. (Lives of the Saints)
Blessing for a Car: Grant your blessing, Lord God, upon these cars, and bless those who use them. Let them not abuse, harm, or destroy your creation, or use these vehicles to disturb or hurt other people. May they use these vehicles for your honour and glory, for the benefit and service of others, and to build up your holy Church.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is our parish’s unique way of reaching out to bring support and comfort to individuals with a gift of a prayer shawl.
What is a Prayer Shawl? A Prayer Shawl is either knitted or crocheted following simple instructions by one of the ladies in our ministry group with prayers for the needs of the potential recipient. When completed each shawl is blessed by Deacon Yves Trottier. In essence, each shawl represents the caring and support of our parish and symbolizes a hug from God.
Who can receive a prayer shawl? Simply put, it is anyone including men, women, children, young and old in your family, your friends or your community, regardless of faith, who is experiencing a serious illness, loss of a loved one or an emotional upheaval. A shawl can also be given for happier occasions such as the birth of a child, a celebration or appreciation.
Would you like to request a shawl? Requests for shawls can be made through the parish office or by contacting Roberta (613-523-0538). You can arrange to pick one up from the office or have it delivered. regardless of faith
To date our parish has gifted more than 150 shawls to individuals locally, across Canada and as far away as Poland the Philippines and beyond. Those who have received a shawl have commented on the impact of the shawl and its meaning to them and their family in terms of comfort, warmth and peace.
Would you like to help? To continue the work of the Prayer Shawl Ministry we are seeking new members. If you knit or crochet and would like to share your talent, please contact the parish office or Roberta. Shawl patterns and yarn are available. You can also contribute through donations of yarn or money by going through the parish office. Thank you for your consideration.
