UPDATE:
INDIGENOUS RECONCILIATION FUND
Once again we would like to thank you for all your support during our first special collection for the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund. To date, we have raised more than half a million dollars. The parishes have raised $275,000 of that amount! We are now in the process of reaching out to local Indigenous organizations. The first event that is able to make use of some of the funds you helped raise happens on March 25th as the Odawa Native Friendship Centre is hosting the 23rdAnnual Ottawa Indigenous Children and Youth Pow Wow at the Shaw Centre (55 Colonel By Drive.)
Pow Wows are powerful Indigenous gatherings where you’ll find multiple generations coming together to enjoy food, honour traditions, forge a sense of community, and practice spiritual healing. The Pow Wow begins at noon with the Grand Entry. The Feast is at 5 pm followed by the Round Dance at 7 pm. Admission is free though donations are appreciated. We invite you to drop by to soak in and learn more about the Indigenous culture.
Easter Lilies
Every year we look forward to the Easter celebration and adding to the church's decorations with lilies. Generally, these are donated in remembrance of a loved one. If you wish to participate, kindly deliver your Lily to the church by Palm Sunday.

Joseph of Nazareth:
The Story of the Man Closest to Christ
The first feature film ever on the story of St. Joseph, who was a carpenter, the husband of Mary, and the foster father of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a just man and that God gave him the most daunting task ever asked of a man–to be the husband of the woman who would give birth to the Messiah and the father and protector of this Holy Family.
We are shown the human, noble, and deeply spiritual aspects of Joseph the carpenter, son of David,
servant of God, and loving husband of Mary. He is presented as a man of faith who must grapple
greatly with the profound mysteries of the miraculous conception, the Virgin Birth, the Incarnation of
the Son of God, and the incredible challenges of protecting and raising Jesus amidst the threats on
his life from the moment of his birth and beyond.

+ I would not know how to live without the Lord. Jesus often visits me in this seclusion, teaches me, reassures me, rebukes me, and admonishes me. He himself forms my heart according to His divine wishes and likings, but always with much goodness and mercy. Our hearts are fused as one.
Diary – Divine Mercy in My Soul entry 1024
A Divine Mercy Cenacle is a group of people who meet weekly for song, prayer, and discussion on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of St. Maria Faustina, as a small Christian community.
A Cenacle meets nearby every Monday evening after the 7:00pm Mass at Divine Infant Parish. The evening is facilitated by Deacon Mike and Josiane Seguin. All are welcome!
