Farewell to Canon HilaryThis Sunday, January 9th, 2022 will be Canon Hilary's last day with us as she transitions from her current position as Canon Pastor of the Cathedral to full-time Chaplain to the Cornerstone Housing Program for Women, a Diocesan Community Ministry. Canon Hilary was serving at Cornerstone in a half-time capacity while she was Canon Pastor. Although we will miss her many gifts and infectious smile, we know that Cornerstone will be well served to have her with them on a full-time basis. As our Cathedral is closed during this time, personal messages and cards can be directed to Canon Hilary at the Cathedral (hilary.murray@ottawacathedral.ca or 414 Sparks Street, Ottawa, ON, K1R 0B2). Those wishing to offer gifts of thanksgiving for her ministry with us may choose to direct donations to the Cathedral, marked "Pastoral Ministries". Please keep Canon Hilary in your prayers as she makes this move, called to serve in a new ministry in our diocese! |

Memorial FlowersEvery Sunday we marvel at the beautiful flowers that adorn the Cathedral. Many of you will know that these flowers are dedicated by individuals and families to loved ones who have died, some recently and some longer ago, and all remembered with a special tribute. If you are interested in making a memorial donation in remembrance on an upcoming Sunday, please contact the cathedral office at info@ottawacathedral.ca for more information. The dedication is noted each week in the Order of Service |
