Our FORMED.org subscription allows parishioners (family and friends) access to all FORMED content online. The Lectio Prayer six-part bible lecture study by Dr Tim Grey of the Augustine Institute will be offered in the parish hall at O.L.G.C. on Tuesday and Friday mornings (9:30 – 10:30 am) starting Tuesday November 12 and concluding Friday November 29. “With the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute's Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy.” There is no preparation or homework required. Attendees do not have to attend all sections because the series is available online at FORMED.org. Each session consists of a 30-minute video, interspersed with conversation. Handouts summarizing the Study Guide will be available at the sessions. (For more information: Mike Maguire 613 586-2723)

It is very laudable that we maintain a silence both before and after Holy Mass. It is in silence that we can best hear the Holy Spirit speaking. Prayers before Mass and then a prayer of Thanksgiving after Mass need not be long. The hall is always available after Mass for those who wish to take time and meet with friends and neighbours for socializing.
