  • Pastoral Care Course
    Pastoral Care Course
    There will be a Basic Spring course for Pastoral Care on March 9th – May 11th. The course will be given both afternoon and evening. Cost is $125 before March 1st and $140 after March 1st. The Church will pay half of the cost. There is a form on the bulletin board outside the secretary’s office, and I have others. Pastoral Care is a very rewarding ministry, and sorely needed in our Parish with so many ill and elderly parishioners. To be able to journey with people unable to attend Mass and to bring them Communion is extremely gratifying. If at all interested, please call me Carol Faure at 613-824-0693 so we can chat about what all is involved after you have taken the course. It would be preferable that you be available during the day, no longer workings, or have other responsibilities that would disallow you not to be able to visit. Our visits take place during the day, and on occasion after Masses on weekends.
