Pack the Church for Fr. Bob Bedard

40 years ago, Fr. Bob Bedard’s “yes” to the Lord transformed parishes across North America and inspired a new vision for the Church and the priesthood. Producers of the film “Permission” are trying to recreate what a ‘packed church’ would have looked like in the days of Fr. Bob Bedard at St. Mary’s Parish. We need your help to fill the church with extras on Saturday, February 22nd from 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm. Eighties attire and hair styles most welcome! No logos please. Please sign up at stmarysottawa.ca/permission.

Sample Will Wording and Charity Number

It is important that your Will include the correct legal name and charitable registration number in your documents. The legal name for the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall is:

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPORATION OF OTTAWA-CORNWALL Charitable Registration # 128967353 RR0001

Your parish office is able provide you with the legal name for your own parish. However, most Archdiocesan parishes and programs can be designated in your Will as:

The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of OTTAWA-CORNWALL, for the benefit of [ Specific Parish, Cemetery, Ministry or Program ] in [ Town / City ].

You may also consider the following clauses in your Will:

For your parish:

“To pay to (Legal Name of Parish) Roman Catholic Parish for its own use absolutely, the sum of (amount) dollars. I declare that the receipt of the person professing to be the Pastor or Parochial Administrator of the parish shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustee who need not see to the application thereof. I further direct that if the (Name of Parish) does not exist at the time of my death, this bequest shall be paid to the Parish’s successor, and if no such successor exists, then to an institution with similar objectives and goals.”
