Dear Parents,

Update: October 1, 2021:  Dear Parents/Guardians,
Bishop Desrochers will be here on October 17, 2021 at the 11:00 AM Mass to confer the sacrament of confirmation.  Please note the following:

1.  Confessions will be Saturday, October 16, 2021 at 10:00 AM in the church.  We will have a practice for the Mass on Sunday at this time.
2.  If your child was not baptised at Our Lady of Good Counsel or at St. Anthony in Chalk River, then please get a copy of their baptismal certificate to Melinda ASAP.  If you cannot find the baptismal certificate, let us know what church and what town the baptism took place and we can ask to have it sent to us directly from that parish.  

Thanks so much.

Update: June 2021:  Confirmation will be postponed until Fall 2021.

Update: April 17.2021: With the stay-at-home order, we will not hold Catechism classes in compliance with the Government’s order. Students are asked to pick up their Catechism books from the parish office (Wed-Fri, 9 am -4 pm) and begin working through the chapters until we are able to meet again. We will do what we can given the times we are in.

(Preparation for First Holy Communion and Confirmation will begin with weekly classes beginning on Thursday, March 25th.    (Please note:  There will be NO CLASS the following Thursday, April 1st… due to it being Holy Week.)  First Communion students will meet in the parish hall at 6 p.m.  Confirmation students will meet at 6:45 p.m.  Both groups are small – students will sit at individual tables that are socially distanced.  (There are enough individual tables that no table needs to be used by both groups.)  Father Beachey will be preparing the students himself.  Materials will be provided and there is no cost.  The dates for First Communion and Confirmation are yet to be determined.)

The Sacrament of Confirmation is offered every second year in our parish.  

For more information:  please call the parish office 613-584-3696.

You may also find information in the weekly parish bulletin or online at our website.

Thank you.
