40 Days for Life - October 25, 2025 - Saint Mary Parish - Annunciation of the Lord Parish

Today in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the Annunciation of the Lord Parish joined Saint Mary's in the Fall 40 Days for Life Campaign

40 Days for Life is an internationally coordinated 40-day campaign that aims to end abortion locally through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and a peaceful all-day vigil in front of abortion businesses. 

Q&A with David Bereit, founder of 40 Days for Life in 2007

40 Days for Life came to Ottawa in the Fall of 2008
I kept a sort of diary of the Campaigns

The Prodigals

Today May 19, 2023
after mass

To save our children from this insanity our leaders need to be converted 

Pat suggested that we pray to Saint Ambrose as well 
so at the end of the prayer, we might say 

St. Ambrose, you inspired St.Augustine. 
We ask you to pray for all our leaders who have strayed from God
Send each one of them a kind soul who will help lead them back



A few months ago we started a little prayer group ( thanks Jackie for initiating this ) with a prayer petitioning St. Monica to intercede for us in our worries and anxieties. As a mournful mother, of a prodigal son, Saint Monica understands a mother's heart. So after mass, we pray for the intentions that are in our hearts: our loved ones, our spouses, children, grandchildren, etc. A couple of weeks ago our parish was given this beautiful icon as a gift. Thank you Gloria! God bless you!

Lately, I, have extended my prayers to include children who are being led astray by a society that has lied to them about their identity as children of God, male and female wonderfully made in His image and likeness. This saddens me so much. Our leaders, have let them down, by pushing this radical sexual agenda everywhere: in our schools, our hospital, and our Universities. For the sake of our children O Lord, please open the eyes of all who are blind to the harm that is being inflicted on our little ones Bring them back!

In the 50's it was lobotomies. Today it is the sexual exploitation, abuse, and mutilation of children 

  Saint Monica pray for all these little ones and for their families

Each year, Canada Needs Our Lady holds the Public Square Rosary Crusade, with Rosary Rallies in cities all across the country.

These yearly Public Square Rosary Rallies took place on the Saturday closest to October 13, the feast of the last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun.

( we didn't have a copy of the Rosary Rally prayers however we said the prayers from Divine Infant Parish in Orleans instead which includes a Marian consecration, numerous prayer intentions, and the Litany of Loreto

We your children thank you Mother Mary

Icon of Our Lady of Persecuted Christians at Annunciation of the Lord Parish, Ottawa, ON


Thanks to our Knights of Columbus, Council 2008, the Icon of Our Lady of Persecuted Christians will be present in our Church for veneration from Monday November 19th, to Sunday, November 25th. All are welcome to spend time with the Icon during the week. Prayer cards are available.




 
When I arrived at our Church for our Monday evening Prayer Meeting last evening around 7:10, I noticed the  beautiful icon was already installed in the Church and there were several parishioners from Nazareth Family Living  praying before Our Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, so I stayed for a short time and prayed as well.  A young lady was singing and playing lovely worship music on the piano and Father Dan Dubroy was hearing confessions. It was all very beautiful

Our Prayer Meeting is every Monday at 7:30 so last night Joan our Leader suggested we pray silently in the Church with the Nazareth Group who had organized  this time of adoration . This is an opportunity you just don't want to pass up.

Thank you Lord for this very special time
