Appreciation

Thank you to National Language Parishes   

Pastoral Services thanks parishioners national language parishes including Shen Shen, Sagrada Familia, St. Albertus and the Eritrean community for serving luncheons on Pastoral Days. There has been such wonderful hospitality and delicious food! Everyone worked together with such a positive spirit. Every detail from beginning to end was carried out with a spirit of sharing care for the environment in waste management.


Thank you to all who sort waste 

Plastic bags are the worst contaminant in recycling. They cannot be recycled. Also bad is when plastic bags that contain recyclables are put into blue and black boxes. John Dorner of our archdiocese had the privilege of watching workers on the sorting line at Ottawa’s recycling plant. He saw how fast and focused these people have to work to remove contaminants from the line. Out of respect for them, he decided to never again throw contaminants into recycling bins. Thank you to those who recycle carefully at home and at work, and to those working on the sorting line at the recycling plant! To know what is allowed in blue and black boxes, visit the City of Ottawa's Waste Explorer.
