D\u00e9c\u00e8s de Mgr Marcel Gervais, archev\u00eaque \u00e9m\u00e9rite d’Ottawa<\/strong>\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mgr Marcel Andr\u00e9 Gervais, archev\u00eaque \u00e9m\u00e9rite d’Ottawa (Ontario), est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le dimanche 6 ao\u00fbt 2023, \u00e0 Ottawa, \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 92 ans, apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9v\u00eaque pendant pr\u00e8s de 43 ans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mgr Gervais na\u00eet \u00e0 Elie, au Manitoba, le 21 septembre 1931, neuvi\u00e8me d’une famille de quatorze enfants. Il fr\u00e9quente d\u2019abord l’\u00e9cole primaire au Manitoba avant de d\u00e9m\u00e9nager avec sa famille en 1945 dans le sud-ouest de l’Ontario. Apr\u00e8s une formation en philosophie et en th\u00e9ologie au s\u00e9minaire St. Peter’s de London, il est ordonn\u00e9 pr\u00eatre le 31 mai 1958 pour le dioc\u00e8se de London. Mgr Gervais poursuit ensuite ses \u00e9tudes en th\u00e9ologie et en \u00c9criture sainte \u00e0 Rome, puis \u00e0 l’Institut biblique pontifical et \u00e0 J\u00e9rusalem. \u00c0 son retour au Canada en 1962, il devient professeur d’\u00c9criture sainte au s\u00e9minaire St-Peter\u2019s et ce, jusqu\u2019en 1980. Entre les ann\u00e9es 1977 et 1980, il \u00e9crit et \u00e9dite Journey<\/em>, un cours sur la Bible traduit en 14 langues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

C\u2019est en 1980 que Mgr Gervais est ordonn\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9piscopat et il devient l\u2019\u00e9v\u00eaque auxiliaire de London, en Ontario. Cinq ans plus tard, le saint P\u00e8re le nomme \u00e9v\u00eaque de Sault-Sainte-Marie puis, le 27 septembre 1989, archev\u00eaque d’Ottawa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pendant plus de 17 ans, Mgr Gervais a \u00e9t\u00e9 archev\u00eaque d’Ottawa. Il \u00e9tait profond\u00e9ment d\u00e9vou\u00e9 \u00e0 Dieu, \u00e0 son \u00c9glise et aux fid\u00e8les qu\u2019ils servaient. Il a convoqu\u00e9 le Synode dioc\u00e9sain de 1992, ax\u00e9 sur la pastorale des jeunes et le d\u00e9veloppement de la foi des adultes, qui a entra\u00een\u00e9 des changements structurels \u00e0 l’archidioc\u00e8se et dans les paroisses, avec une plus grande participation des la\u00efcs aux processus d\u00e9cisionnels. Il a soutenu de nouvelles communaut\u00e9s telles que les Compagnons de la Croix, les \u00c9quipes nationales d’\u00e9vang\u00e9lisation (NET) et Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

En 1983, il participe au Synode des \u00e9v\u00eaques \u00e0 Rome. Il est \u00e9lu pr\u00e9sident de la Conf\u00e9rence des \u00c9v\u00eaques Catholiques du Canada en 1991, poste qu’il occupe jusqu’en 1993. En 1997, il participe de nouveau \u00e0 un synode, celui l’Am\u00e9rique.\u202f De 1989 \u00e0 1993, il est membre du Conseil pontifical pour le dialogue avec les non-croyants. Il a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sident du conseil d’administration du Centre Cardinal Carter pour la bio\u00e9thique, pr\u00e9sident du comit\u00e9 ad hoc pour le programme d’\u00e9tudes portant sur la vie familiale et agent de liaison pour l’Association biblique du Canada. Il a re\u00e7u le prix Justice James D. Higgins en reconnaissance de sa contribution exceptionnelle et de son soutien ind\u00e9fectible aux \u00e9coles catholiques de l’Ontario et du Canada.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Le 14 mai 2007, le pape Beno\u00eet a accept\u00e9 la d\u00e9mission de Mgr Gervais pour raison d\u2019\u00e2ge. Il choisit de prendre sa retraite \u00e0 Ottawa, qu’il consid\u00e9rait comme sa maison, et de rester avec sa famille dans la r\u00e9gion. Pendant sa retraite, il est rest\u00e9 actif, animant des retraites et exer\u00e7ant un minist\u00e8re pastoral. En 2016, il a publi\u00e9 The Word Was Made Flesh : A Commentary on the Gospel of John, et la version fran\u00e7aise, \u00c9vangile de Jean.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sa devise \u00e9tait \u00ab\u00a0Evangelizare\u00a0\u00bb, ce qui signifie \u00ab\u00a0\u00e9vang\u00e9liser\u00a0\u00bb, proclamer la Bonne Nouvelle. Cette devise refl\u00e9tait l’orientation de son minist\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mgr Gervais reposera en chapelle ardente \u00e0 la cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame d’Ottawa de 14 h \u00e0 18 h 30, le lundi 14 ao\u00fbt 2023, et ses fun\u00e9railles suivront \u00e0 19 h. Il sera inhum\u00e9 par la suite dans la crypte de la cath\u00e9drale.<\/p>\n
