NEWS FROM THE DIOCESAN SERVICES - April 9, 2024
Every month, Pope Francis invites us to pray for a new cause. Little by little, we will succeed in building a better world. In January it was for cultural diversity in the Church, in February for the terminally ill, in March for the newly martyred, and this month for the role of women.
In his video message for the annual campaign to support parishes (tithing), Bishop Paul-André Durocher reminds us how parishes are vibrant and dynamic, as well as places where the wealth, talents and gifts of all can be shared. "Following Jesus' example, everyone can make a difference in their community by sharing their time, talents and treasures."
Under the theme For my parish...with all my heart, Sharing our gifts, the campaign runs throughout the spring, with a reminder in the fall. This campaign, which has been supported by promotional tools since the 1990s, is of great importance in the donations that parishes receive to enable them to pursue their mission at the heart of the Outaouais population. To make a donation to any of the 57 parishes in the diocese, you can use the online donation platform on the Archdiocese of Gatineau website.
Joyfully, let's share our gifts. Thank you for your support!
