We are blessed with some very special parishioners. These people are dedicated to helping out in the various ministries that keep our churches maintained, our Masses celebrated with reverence and our fellow parishioners well cared for. Please consider volunteering for one of these ministries. No offer is too small… we need help to continue these missions and keep our parishes alive.
Altar Serving…Church cleaning... Liturgy…Ushers…Children’s Liturgy…Gifts to the Altar…These are just some of the volunteer opportunities available within our parishes. Please call or email the parish office for more information: 613-584-3696, olgc@magma.ca.
"There are various ministries, committees and groups that are present in our parishes. Every parishioner is invited and encouraged to be actively involved; using their gifts and talents to serve our faith community. May God continue to bless us as we strive to live out the Gospel."
-Father Terrence Sirosky

For over 50 years the parishioners of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church have generously supported mission work.
Primary recipients of donations in past years have included:
Sisters of St. Paul (Peru)
Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception (Dominican Republic)
Fr, Kallely (Kenya)
Fr. Duggan (Kenya)
Fr. McDonough followed by Bishop Sebastian (India)
Sisters of Providence (Guatemala)
In addition to the above, another 45 recipients in areas of need such as Bolivia, Honduras, Brazil, Ethiopia, Poland, Rhodesia, Mexico, West Indies, Rwanda, Haiti, Attawapiskat, Inuvik and Deep River have received smaller amounts.
These funds have been used for food, clothing, shelter and education.
Presently we are supporting mission work in Peru, Dominican Republic and India.
Thank you for your continued generosity.
The parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel hosts a BBQ once a year in June to thank all the people who volunteer in any way in our parish. Whether you sing in a choir, volunteer with children’s liturgy, read at Mass or have brought the gifts to the altar just once… you are welcome and encouraged to attend. The running of our church activities and weekly Masses are dependent upon the hard work of so many dedicated parishioners. There are many who feel they need no thank you… but please let us cook you and your family dinner on this night! This year's BBQ was a great success - thank you to everyone who attended. :)
