Our parish has recently established several new groups, namely the Information Team, Liturgical Committee, Children Formation Committee and Spiritual Formation Committee.

The responsibilities of the Information Team include the publication of the Parish Bulletin and the Parish website. There are four major tasks: translation, layout, web design and information gathering. The team currently has about 40 members, including some who work or study in Ottawa, Kingston and Waterloo.

The members of the Liturgical Committee are selected from the Readers Association, Church Choirs, Eucharistic Ministry, Altar Boy Society and Usher Group. The objective of this group is to coordinate the parish's liturgical activities and promote better familiarity of liturgies among our parishioners.

The Children Formation Committee is made up of members from Sunday School, Children Liturgy of the Word and parents. This committee will aim to identify new and innovative faith-related and recreational activities for children of our Parish.

The Spiritual Formation Committee, as its name suggests, is formed to promote our Parish's spiritual activities. The first activity to be promoted is a monthly, two-day-one-night retreat. Details will soon be announced.

The seminar "The Role in Disasters" which was mentioned in the Pastor's Corner from two weeks ago had received a lot of positive feedback from parishioners. We will make further announcements when the Archdiocese holds future sessions of this seminar.

Lastly, some parishioners have inquired about the possibility of including employment ads in the bulletin. This suggestion can be done in principle. However, since the collection and administration of information related to this task can be quite demanding, we regret to advise that this service cannot be provided for the time being.
