Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

Unlocked: Ottawa

Priests and active parishioners across Ottawa want to see their parishes come alive. The problem is that changing the way we “do church” can be intimidating, especially without having seen relevant examples of parishes doing things differently.

The truth is, our parishes exist to do more than just maintain the status quo–they exist to evangelize and bring people to Jesus!

We get it–prioritizing mission over maintenance can feel scary. This is why Divine Renovation has been accompanying hundreds of priests and parish leaders across the world as they transform their parishes through proven strategies and principles for parish renewal. Join us January 25, 2025 for DR Unlocked: Ottawa, where you will:

  • Learn about the 3 Keys to Unlocking Your Parish
  • Be equipped for mission through practical workshops and resources
  • Connect with a growing community of learning in the space of parish renewal
  • Be inspired to dream of what’s possible for your parish

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Register for our upcoming, DR Unlocked: Ottawa at this link

2. Invite your fellow priests or parishioners to join

3. Get ready to unlock your parish’s missional potential and see it come alive! So, register today! And in the meantime, download our FREE resource, 3 Keys to Unlocking Your Parish, so you can start moving your parish from maintenance to mission!

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.”
