This weekend is the Fall time change: clocks go back one hour on Saturday night, giving you an extra hour to sleep in on Sunday morning!

Linked below you will find a document outlining the highlights - major events, discussions and decisions as well as financial updates - from the 147th Synod of the Diocese of Ottawa, held October 22-24, 2026.

The office at Aborn House will be closed to visitors from Monday, November 2nd to Friday, November 6th, reopening at 9am on Monday, November 9th. Our office administrator, Gail Marion, will be taking a portion of her annual holidays during this time. We wish Gail a pleasant time away!

The office voicemail will be periodically monitored during this time. Messages can be left on the voicemail, and will be returned by the clergy team as soon as we are able. Emails to the office email account will be returned by Gail after she resumes work on November 9th.

Come and celebrate with others from across our diocese the 130th Anniversary of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, the 50th Anniversary of the Ordination of Women in our Anglican Church of Canada, and the 25th Anniversary of the Christ Church Cathedral Girls Choir!

There will be a festive Choral Eucharist at Christ Church Cathedral Ottawa at 11am, followed by a reception. Then at 2pm there will be a book launch of Anne Boleyn: Reputation, Revolution, Religion, and the Queen Who Changed History by The Reverend Canon Martha Tatarnic (May 2026). 

All are welcome to all or part of this day of celebration! For more information, please see the link below.
