The heart of prayer
On Ascension Day we remember the end of Jesus’ earthly journey and rejoice in his transcendent presence with all creation for all time.
When God showed us the way home
I share this story because it speaks to paying attention to moments where God unexpectedly opens up the fog in human existence to show us all what we need to know and what we need to do.
When the prayers of our hearts cannot be put into words
Sometimes it is enough to go to a place that is familiar and safe, be it a forest, a church, a chair, or a window, and open your heart to God, wordlessly.
Generosity fuels our mission

Our History
We recognize and honour the ancestral territory of the Anishinàbeg Algonquin People, the ancient and revered guardians of the Kichi Sibi (Ottawa River) Watershed, upon which the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa was founded on April 7, 1896.
