In order to make it possible to build a parish hall that meets its needs the Parish, with the approval of the Archdiocese, has made a conditional offer to purchase 566 Old St. Patrick Street, a 4 apartment residence at the corner of Old St. Patrick and Patro just east of the church and next to the John Howard Society building.
It is envisaged that the new property will be a temporary residence for our priests while the church hall is under construction and may even possibly become a permanent rectory. If all conditions are satisfied, including final approval of the Archdiocese of Ottawa, and the purchase completed in early May, the new property will be rented while plans for building a church hall in the location of the present rectory proceed.
Design plans for the new church hall are expected to be ready for parishioner review within the next two to three months.
Please keep our priests, members of the Parish Finance and Pastoral Councils and this project in your prayers.
