Below is a schedule of Theophany services taking place this Thursday, January 19, at St. Onuphrius Church inside the Canadian Museum of Civilization. This little Ukrainian Catholic Church, transplanted here from Alberta, is a little gem and it is a real privilege to be able to use it. The Ottawa River with Parliament Hill on the other side is a beautiful backdrop for the traditional outdoor water blessing that takes place on this feast of Christ’s Baptism. Note that museum admission is free on Thursday. Join us, and dress warmly!
The schedule is as follows:
5:00 pm Vespers at Saint Onuphrius Church, Canadian Museum of Civilization
6:00 pm Procession
6:15 pm Great Blessing of the Waters (held outdoors by the Ottawa River)
7:00 pm Hot cider
For further information about this event, feel free to contact the Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies at 613-236-1393, extension 2651.
Christ is Born! Welcome to the second half of the academic year. The regular schedule of Divine Liturgy resumes Sunday, January 15, 2012, at 11:30.
Just a few announcements for the coming weeks:
1. Father Francois Beyrouti will serve Divine Liturgy on Sunday, November 13, at the usual time of 11:30 am. Fr. Francois makes regular guest appearances at the Chaplaincy and we are always pleased to see him.
2. On Saturday, November 19, we will need up to 15 volunteers to fill our usual shift at Shepherds of Good Hope. See previous posts on how to get on the roster. It’s a great break from school work!
3. On Sunday, November 20, our regular collection will go to supporting the institutions of learning and formation for Eastern Rite Catholics in Canada. Specifically, Ukrainian Catholic bishops have asked that all congregations take up a collection on one Sunday in November to support Holy Spirit Seminary or the Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies (at St. Paul University). Both are here in Ottawa and our Chaplaincy benefits greatly from the professors, students, seminarians and others who are in this town as a result. We will be glad to make our contribution to them.
4. On Sunday, November 20th (NOTE THIS IS THE CORRECTED DATE) we will hold our semi-annual general meeting to discuss, among other things, how we will direct our charitable donations in Advent and generally, and the division of roles and responsibilities around the Chaplaincy. With a good number of new faces this year, it will be a good opportunity to seek input of all kinds.
Thanks to everyone who gave their Saturday morning over to good works. The people at the Shepherds of Good Hope always appreciate the effort.
Plan ahead for our next two volunteering sessions: Saturday, November 19th and Saturday, December 17th. It’s a mere 4.5 hour commitment, and there’s no skill required!
