Faith in Action Ottawa Diocesan Council of the Catholic Women’S League of Canada Volume 5 Number 1 FAITH IN ACTION OTTAWA DIOCESAN COUNCIL OF THE CATHOLIC WOMEN’S LEAGUE OF CANADA VOLUME 5 NUMBER 1 SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT My CWL council is composed of people like me. I help to make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will do great work, if I work. Its meetings will be meaningful and lively, if I help make them so. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver of my time and talents. It will bring other women into its fellowship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a council of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a council with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things Therefore with the help of God and Our Lady of Good Counsel, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my council to be. Notes from Joanna “Faith in Action”, what a great name for our diocesan newsletter; let us share what is going on in our CWL councils. Taking my own advice I am sharing some events that have happened since our Diocesan Executive Meeting and Pot luck lunch in September. October 1-3: I attended the Provincial Executive Meeting in Toronto. It was great to meet and spend time with the other diocesan presidents and provincial officers. I really learned a lot and am sharing this with our team. October 4: The annual gathering to remember our murdered/missing Aboriginal sisters took place on Parliament Hill. Unfortunately only five CWL members were present for this moving ceremony. It was a heart rending experience to listen to the families’ stories and really hard to imagine how I would feel, react and act if I were at the microphone speaking about my own family member. Speakers urged us to bring awareness of their plight to all Canadians so that pressure can be brought to bear on our Leaders and Chiefs to find an answer to all the unanswered questions from the families about their loved ones. The evening vigil also was poorly attended by our membership. Please keep the families of these murdered and missing girls, boys, and women in your prayers. October 7: St. Claire’s Council hosted the evening prayer for Religious and Vocations to Religious Life. The evening was warm and heartfelt with guest speakers Deacon Paul Soucie, Sister Philomena and Fr. Bob Poole sharing their stories of their call. I was touched when those in attendance blessed the religious present with our song of blessing. A reception followed in the parish hall. Thank you ladies at St. Claire’s. October 16: Diocesan Officers gathered for an informal get together and to share ideas. It is always good to get input. October 21: Our CWL Council was represented at the Bishop’s Charity Dinner; it was great to see so many members there with their parishes. November 5: Nine of our Life Members met with Onagh and me for lunch and a meeting. It is a great means of keeping each other up to date, great turn out. November 11: Lynn Lavictoire was able to represent me at the National Memorial Service in the laying of a wreath on behalf of the National Catholic Women’s League. As I am writing this plans have been made for our Advent Retreat. I expect it to be a very faith filled and enriching day for all who attend. Please continue to pray for our Diocesan Council and councils who are struggling to have women step up and say yes. Remember we are Faith in Action. WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE COUNCILS At this time, St. Bernard's CWL is planning their Annual Christmas Bake Sale for Dec. 5th & 6th. This year, as part of the Bake Sale, we will be having a 50/50 ticket fund raiser and selling "Epicure" Cheese Dip Kits. Happy Baking! Also, we will have a Christmas Social Justice Project to benefit the women who go to the St. Joe's Women's Centre. A donation box for contributions, to this project, will be placed in the foyer of the church from November 14thto December 13th. Our CWL council at Annunciation of the Lord Parish in Ottawa, has published a cookbook entitled “Chosen With Love, Favourite Recipes of the CWL”, for fundraising purposes and as a fun and creative project. The cookbook also contains a dedication to Our Lady of Good Counsel, a summary of the history and objectives of the CWL, and beautiful colour photographs. Proceeds from the sale of our cookbook go to supporting our parish’s ongoing initiatives in sponsoring refugee families. For further information about the cookbook or to place an order, please contact our current Chairperson for Organization, Rita Lemay, at [email protected] December: CWL activities for St. Ignatius the Martyr parish Fundraiser: Bake sale & mini bazaar for the weekend of Dec 12 & 13. Parish CWL members' Christmas Luncheon: Dec 15 2015 at Rogers Bistro in the Trainyards. St. Margaret Mary CWL Parish Council will be holding its annual Bake & Book Sale in the St. Margaret Mary church hall after each of the weekend Masses Dec 5th (Mass is at 4pm) and Dec 6th (Masses are at 8:30am and 10am). It’s early yet, but just a heads-up; Our Lady of Fatima Council will be holding its fabulous annual fundraiser with Irish and Celtic music on Saturday, March 12th. Watch for more info. St Clare’s Catholic Church in Dwyer Hill, Ontario, recognized as a unique individualistic example of the work of renowned architect, Francis Conroy Sullivan, celebrated its 100th Anniversary. The church and hall were beautifully decorated with gorgeous fall flowers. Around the walls of the church and inside the old confessional, pictures, documents and historical artifacts of the church’s past were displayed. The celebration began with a mass, celebrated by Rev. Bob Poole on, Sept. 11, 2015 at 4:30 pm. This was followed by an 18 hour devotion to the Blessed Sacrament ending on Saturday, Sept. 12 at noon. Ottawa Archbishop Most Reverend Terrance Prendergast celebrated the Mass of Thanksgiving at 4:30 on Sept. 12, 2015. He arrived at St. Clare’s Church in a horse drawn carriage. The Archbishop, resplendent in his red garments, stepped down from the carriage, thanked the horse for the transportation and greeted the crowd waiting his arrival. He stopped for photos before entering the church to prepare for the mass. Rev. Bob Poole, Fr. Larry McCormick (former pastor at St. Clare’s) and Deacon Louis Seward assisted the Archbishop in celebrating the mass. Following the mass, 100 colourful, helium filled balloons carrying messages of praise, thanksgiving and petitions, written by the parishioners, were released skyward. The celebration continued in the hall adjacent to the church, where photos albums, scrap books and historical documents and artifacts were on display. A DVD played throughout the evening, highlighting the church’s history in pictures, some dating back to 1925 and onwards. A sumptuous buffet donated by the parishioners, was served by the CWL. Archbishop Prendergast cut the celebratory cake, baked by a parishioner, which featured a picture of the St. Clare’s Church. The organizers for the St. Clare’s 100th Anniversary wish to thank everyone for all the help to make this event such a success and indeed a memorable occasion for all to remember and to pass on this sense of pride and community to future generations. Submitted by Tilly O’Connor, president St. Clare’s CWL, Sept. 2015 Ontario Provincial Council of The Catholic Women’s League of Canada 68th Annual Convention Hosted by the St. Catharines Diocese in Niagara Falls July 4-8, 2015 Report There is something to be said about women gathered together as the one body of Christ, in one room, interacting as one, whether it is in prayer, or uniting themselves in action by upholding their faith and beliefs, or in sharing a moment or two with one another. It is an opportunity to meet new members of like- mindedness and share in laughter and camaraderie. Conventions are much more than just business sessions; these conventions bind us in all that we stand for as Catholic women. The Ontario Provincial Convention in July 2015 was informative and engaging. On Saturday evening, some of our members went to the Greg Frewin Dinner Theatre where they were entertained by a magic show featuring rare and majestic animals. Sunday morning began with a couple of outings: the Falling for the Falls Tour and the Shop ‘til you Drop Tour. In the afternoon we were led in the Resolutions Dialogue. Later we all attended the opening Eucharistic Celebration at Our Lady of the Scapular. Our Ottawa sisters were touched to see Archbishop Terrence Prendergast concelebrate the Mass with other Spiritual Advisors. What a blessing! On Monday, we listened to our Keynote Speaker Josephine Lombardi speak on Mother Mary and her cousin Elizabeth and relate this encounter to our National Theme: One Heart, One Voice, One Mission. In the afternoon, Dr. Moira McQueen addressed the importance of Palliative Care. Tuesday we were approved the resolutions which were referred to as our five gifts to be brought to the National Convention held in August 2015. That afternoon, Colleen Martin from the Thunder Bay Diocese was presented with the first CWL Social Justice Award. The day concluded with another speaker, Carol Mullin, from Quiet Whispers Ministry. The banquet was held that evening and was a splendid affair with good company! On Wednesday, the last day of the convention, the new Life Members were introduced, Council Anniversary Certificates were presented and elections were held.

  • A Look Back on Ottawa's Railway Heritage
    Heritage Ottawa NEWSLETTER Dedicated to Preserving Our Built Heritage Winter 2005 Volume 32, No. 1 A look back on Ottawa’s Railway Heritage By David Jeanes ne hundred and fifty years ago on Christmas O Day, 1854, scheduled rail service first began on the Bytown and Prescott railway. The line linked Ottawa to Montreal and the United States via Ogdensburg and a year later to both Montreal and Toronto via Prescott. Without this railway link, Ottawa likely would not have become the capital of Canada and its lumber industry would not have developed into the largest in the world by the end of the nineteenth century. But how much of the architectural and engineering heritage of Ottawa’s railways remains from the early years? Last spring, one of the oldest pieces from that era was destroyed when an 1854 stone arch under an abutment of the old railway bridge from Photo: David Jeanes New Edinburgh was demolished due to concerns CPR 1898 railway bridge over Green’s Creek about the safety of the public pathway which passed beneath it. A bronze plaque commemorating both two attractive stone arch bridges of the same date the first railway and the bridge piers which remain cross Green’s Creek near Highway 417.

( Group of Seven, 1920). This Group included Paul Alfred, Harold Beament, Frank Hennessey, Florence McGillivray, Graham Norwell, Yoshida Sekido, and David Milne, in one of his few incarnations as an 'Ottawa' painter. This 'Group' was intended to be Ottawa’s equivalent to Toronto’s Group of Seven and Montreal’s Beaver Hall Hill Group; it wanted 'to keep alive a healthy interest in art, modern Canadian art in particular.' Soon after the exhibition, Beament and Norwell left for Europe and Milne returned to New York, while the others carried on, individually or in conjunction with the activities of the Art Association.'' (pg 23, History of Art and Artists of Ottawa and Surroundings, 1790-1970: Part II, 1880-1945,The Ottawa Art Gallery, 1995). Paul Alfred Paul Alfred (pseudonym of Alfred Ernest Meister) (1892-1959), was born at Hanley, Staffordshire, England, to Mr. and Mrs. John E. Meister. He was educated at Hanley's Northwood National School from 1896 to 1906, and the Polytechnic School of Art at Hanley between 1902 and 1906. Thereafter, he emigrated to Canada. In 1920, Alfred returned to England where he studied at the Chelsea Polytechnic in London. Upon completion of his degree, he returned to Canada where he became employed as a publicity artist for the Natural Resources Branch of the Department of the Interior from 1921 to 1931.

  • Writing Statements of Significance
    Manitoba Guidelines Writing and Editing Statements of Significance HE INFORMATION PRESENTED in this guide has been prepared to help Manitoba contractors and editors write and edit Statements of Significance T (SoSs), that critical section of the Canadian Register of Historic Places that describes the reasons why historic places have been deemed important, why they are valued by Canadians and what must be identified for the creation of good conservation plans. The first section of the document, General Writing Guidelines, has been reproduced from materials prepared by HPI over the past few years. It is imperative that contractors clearly understand the purpose for each section of the SoS (Description of Historic Place, Heritage Value of Historic Place and Character-defining Elements) and that the directions and hints provided there are frequently consulted during the preparation of an SoS. It is assumed that contractors have attended Alastair Kerr’s SoS workshop on values-based management and that they are familiar with the theory and content provided in that exercise. While the General SoS-writing Guidelines are critical for understanding the theory and practice of writing a Statement of Significance, they cannot anticipate the various challenges that arise during the actual creative process (and this is a creative process). And they do not establish the standards that will be applied in Manitoba. It is for this reason that this document has been prepared. The key elements that have been added to the “General Writing Guidelines” are: • Three Manitoba Examples • Analysis of Three Manitoba Examples • Review of Three First Drafts • Workshop Proceedings Writing and Editing Statements of Significance 2 The collection of information in these four sections highlights organizational processes and writing techniques that should help in the creation of good SoSs.

  • PERLEY ALMA CULTURE LECTURE III ART PHOTOGRAPHY. FILM The
    PERLEY ALMA CULTURE LECTURE III ART PHOTOGRAPHY. FILM The Francais Theatre was located on the west side of Dalhousie Street, and opened in 1914. R. E. Maynard owned the Francais Theatre, which had 999 seats. It closed in 1961 as the Francais Cinema Ottawa Openings up to 1920 In 1920, the year Loew's Ottawa theatre opened, thirteen Ottawa theatres were advertising motion picture entertainment. These were: the Dominion, the Russell, the Regent the Imperial, the Family, the Centre, the Strand, the Français, the Nationale, the Casino, the Princess, the Fern and the Rex. At the time, three of these, the Dominion, the Russell and the Family, featured combined movies and vaudeville. The Dominion, which opened as Bennett's vaudeville theatre in 1906, has already been described (see Fig. 12). It was the only theatre of the three that presented vaudeville for most of its life. It came to a fiery end in 1921, and was not replaced. The 1,733-seat Russell theatre had opened in October 1897, adjoining the Russell Hotel at the corner of Queen and Elgin (Fig. 127). When it opened, Ottawa already possessed a "legitimate" theatre, the Grand Opera House, erected in 1874 at 134 Albert Street at a cost of $40,000. The Russell replaced the Grand as the hub of Ottawa's cultural life, and soon the latter was offering its red plush seats and royal box to patrons of popular price melodramas.1 By 1909, the Grand had turned to vaudeville and movies. It burned down, together with a "nickel" theatre beside it in 1913.
