our “Mo<strong>the</strong>r-house” foundation here in Ottawa. At <strong>the</strong> invitation<br />
<strong>of</strong> Archbishop Prendergast we have accepted responsibility for two<br />
more parishes in <strong>the</strong> archdiocese. The first is Annunciation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Lord Parish in Gloucester. This is a wonderful parish and it seems<br />
to be a very natural fit for us as we have long been involved in<br />
many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> outreaches associated with <strong>the</strong> parish – not <strong>the</strong> least<br />
<strong>of</strong> which is <strong>the</strong> vibrant Lifeteen Mass on Sunday evenings. The<br />
second parish is Blessed Sacrament Parish in <strong>the</strong> Glebe area <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
city. This is an unexpected but exciting development for us. Not<br />
only is it a lively parish, but we have a unique history and relationship<br />
with it. Blessed Sacrament Parish was Fr. Bob’s home parish.<br />
He was baptized <strong>the</strong>re and grew up in <strong>the</strong> parish. He was even ordained<br />
to <strong>the</strong> priesthood <strong>the</strong>re on June 6, 1955. We are delighted by<br />
<strong>the</strong> opportunity to serve <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> God in <strong>the</strong>se two parishes!<br />
Fr. Bob always warned us that when you give <strong>the</strong> Lord permission to<br />
do whatever he wants to do – hang on! It certainly feels like that this<br />
year. Please pray for <strong>the</strong> many priests in our community who are on<br />
<strong>the</strong> move to new assignments, and for <strong>the</strong> new parishes that we have<br />
been given <strong>the</strong> privilege and opportunity to minister in: St. Scholastica’s,<br />
Annunciation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord, and Blessed Sacrament.<br />
