Wedding - Michelle and Andy
I found this adorable card that Michelle made for her uncle Mike and auntie Moe Moe
during the ice storm in January 1998 so I'm including it with the wedding photos.
It's very cute Michelle! I couldn't resist!

Message to Catholics when voting - Father Mark Goring C.C.
from Fr. Mark Goring C.C.
"Dear Catholics don't be stupid. If you vote for a political leader who allows harm to be done to the most innocent person, you are complicit in the death of the innocent person. You have blood on your hands. You might spend all of eternity in Hell because you did not obey God's clear commandment--Thou shalt not kill."
He who has ears to hear, let him hear
Mark 4:9

Life Chain today - Vanier Parkway at Montreal Road
Life Chain Sunday is an opportunity for pro-life advocates
from across the U.S. and Canada to unite together in prayer.
There were twelve participants in the Life Chain at the
Vanier Parkway / Montreal Road Intersection
in Ottawa, Ontario.
We are a small but faithful group and are in it for the long haul!
Among the participants were Father Geoffrey Kerslake, Francis Barrett
and Sean Mulligan from the Christian Heritage Party with his wife Grace.
Sean is the CHP Candidate for Ottawa West—Nepean
in the upcoming Federal Election,

This poem was in our Sunday Bulletin Yesterday
(Annunciation of the Lord Parish)
The unborn child asks...
If I am not alive, why am I growing?
If I am not a human being, what kind of being am I?
If I am not a child, why am I sucking my thumb?
If I am a living, human child and humans have value, why is it legal to kill me?
You have a voice, why aren’t you defending me?

Update on 40 Days for Life and the Movie Unplanned
I received this from Wanda Hartlin our 40 Days for Life Coordinator
The movie Unplanned is being shown at Holy Cross church, 685 Walkley Road, Ottawa, K1V 6R8 on Friday October 18 at 7:00 pm in the parish hall. A free will offering will be taken up for Miriam Centre. If you plan to attend please notify the church at 613-731-7834 or email office@holycrossparish.com
The prayer vigil for the 40 Days for Life campaign continues daily from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm at the vigil site on the southwest corner of Bank and Queen Streets. We’ve already had an incident of theft ...so when there is no committed church or ministry to look after the site, the supplies are being kept at St. Patrick’s Basilica in the basement Scavi, beside the book store. This year 24 of the 40 days have been chosen as vigil days. We still have open days if you would like to help out with your group for a day, or part of a day.
In the week coming up, Monday and Tuesday are uncommitted days. For the Catholics on this contact list, please remember that Monday is the feast of the Holy Rosary. Wednesday morning has been chosen by a church group for their parish vigil but the afternoon is not covered. And none of the remaining Fridays of the campaign are covered. Can you spare an hour to come and pray for an end to abortion?
Check the vigil calendar - more information can be found on the website, https://40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/ottawa/ Local information is on the right-hand side of the page under RESOURCES.
Lord we pray for the little ones waiting to be born, that their mother’s will say, “yes” to the precious gift of life that You are giving them.
Yours for Life,
Wanda Hartlin

Ste. Therese and her Little Way
Everybody is familiar with Saint Therese of Lisieux and her little way which seems to put holiness of life within the reach of ordinary people like you and me.
Remember the Baltimore Catechism and the question "why did God make you?"
"God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven." In other words, we are made to be saints.
The more I seek God the more I will get to know Him. The more I get to know God, the more I will love Him. The more I love God, the more I will want to serve him and the more I serve God, the closer I will be to becoming a saint.
At the closing of his homily today Deacon Mark said " let us pray in the name of Jesus our Lord and through the power of the Holy Spirit that the "little things" we do will draw us closer to the Father. Amen"
Ste Therese of Lisieux, pray for us and guide us in the way of holiness.
