Rectory Roof Replacement Project Update Donations received as of July 15: $10,418

Thank you for your generosity!

After having completed significant

work on the church roof, thanks in

large part to parishioner donations, the Parish is proceeding with

a project to completely replace the rectory roof in August 2018.

The rectory roof has reached the end of its lifespan and leaks

have become a growing problem. Working with our engineering

consultants at the BTC Group, as well as Capital Contractors

Ltd., we will be replacing the entire rectory roof, down to the

structural wood deck, including the roof above the vestry, for a

stipulated cost of $68,000. We are asking parishioners to

consider donating to the rectory roof replacement project, to

help us in covering these costs.

You will find envelopes marked for this purpose in the pews,

with each envelope also including slips for those who wish to

make a donation using their credit card. For more information

on this project, please contact Christopher Adam, the Parish

Executive Director, at cadam@st-josephs.ca or at 613-233-

4095, x223. Thank you!

St. Joe’s Women’s Centre Update—Spring was a busy but exciting time for the

Women's Centre. In May, we had our annual Inspire & Ignite fundraiser. The 1950's theme brought out

ladies dressed in poodle skirts and pearls and gentlemen donning fancy suits and fedoras (photos be-

low). When all the poker chips were counted, the grand total came to $22,000! Also, on June 26, we

hosted an open house to showcase some of the wonderful programs and services we offer. Community

partners, the Inspire & Ignite Committee members, and staff gathered for a lovely evening honouring

the Women's Centre and some of our valued supporters.

Coming up, we are starting the collection for our annual Back to School program. We are requesting

donations of elementary and high school supplies, including backpacks to give to the children who

come to the Women's Centre. Please look for the supply list posted at the back of the church for ideas

of what is needed. Thank you in advance! We truly appreciate the generous support!

Summer Young Adult Ministry Events

Bicycle for Refugee Family Roya came to Canada as a government spon-

sored refugee and parishioners have befriended

her and worked on bringing her family to Ottawa.

After waiting three years, her husband and three children (a 16-

year old girl and 12 and 14-year old boys) have arrived. The chil-

dren could use bicycles to explore Ottawa before they start school

in September. If you have a used bicycle or helmet suitable for

teens that you would be willing to donate to Roya’s family,

please contact Valerie at 613-695-3923.
