Do you have a story to share? Tell us about your parish or maybe a project you are working on. Do you know a good Samaritan? Drop us a line and we will gladly include it in our newsletter. Stay safe and God Bless! Meet Father Scott Two Parishes, Two Languages, One Pastor On September 1, Father Timothy Scott, CSB officially assumed responsibility as pastor of the English-language St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church and of the French-language Église St Charles. Serving as pastor of more than one community comes with its challenges, but this appointment has the added layer of being conducted in two languages. “I had an upcoming funeral that I thought would be in French, but when I checked I realized it was for a member of the English community. When the parishes are sharing the same space and there is one secretary, I need to check in which language the service is to be held. It keeps me on my toes,” he said. The two parishes stand side-by-side in Montreal, Auxiliary Bishop Alain Faubert approached him about serving as pastor of both communities; he was appointed with a four-year mandate. In September, parishioners of St. Gabriel’s were notified that their church would need to close due to structural issues with renovations to be undertaken in the spring. In the meantime, both parishes are celebrating Mass at St-Charles.

    La Communauté Milton Parc Mémoire présenté à la Commission de l'aménagement du Par La Communauté Milton Parc Le 20 octobre 2011 Recherche et rédaction Pierre Houle Administrateur au Conseil d’administration de la CMP Lecture et correction Patricia Garcia, Lucia Kowaluk et Alanna Dow, Administratrices au Conseil d’administration de la CMP Pierre Duclos Gérant de la Communauté Milton Parc La Communauté Milton Parc Présentation La Communauté Milton Parc La Communauté Milton Parc (CMP) est un syndicat de copropriété, unique en son genre, formé pendant les années 1980 et créé officiellement en juin 1987 par l'adoption de la loi 224 de l'Assemblée nationale du Québec (bill privé voté à cet effet). Dès les années 1960 et 1970, les résidants du quartier Milton Parc s'opposent à la destruction massive de leur quartier. Plusieurs maisons victoriennes en pierre grise allaient faire place à un vaste projet de rénovation urbaine dont la première partie, et la seule construite, est le complexe La Cité. Appuyés par Héritage Montréal et l'architecte Phyllis Lambert, directrice et fondatrice du Centre Canadien d'Architecture, et avec l'aide financière de la SCHL, les résidants qui militent depuis les années 1960 créent entre 1979 et 1982 le plus important projet de coopératives d'habitation en Amérique du nord, entraînant la rénovation de rangées entières de bâtiments construits au tournant du siècle. Le 23 septembre 1998, Postes Canada émet un jeu de timbres commémoratifs consacrés à l'histoire de l'habitation. Un de ces timbres, représentant les habitations à logements multiples (maisons en rangée), est tiré d'une photo des duplex à deux étages par logement de la Coopérative Milton Parc sur la rue Jeanne-Mance.
