Hosted by Bishop John and Catherine Chapman, the event featured Mr. Steve Madely as guest speaker, with musical entertainment provided by Mr. Timothy Piper and Friends. Guests enjoyed time to mix and mingle at a reception, a delicious dinner, and everyone had the opportunity to bid on a variety of silent auction items.
Proceeds from this Annual Dinner support the Bishop’s Discretionary Fund. This special Fund allows the Bishop to assist people from across the Diocese of Ottawa in unexpected and often difficult circumstances. Thanks to the generosity of many, this outreach unfolds quietly and confidentially, separate from the diocesan budget.
