Ministries

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish has a number of extraordinary ministries which greatly assist the church and its parishioners. The Parish is always looking for volunteers to help in these ministries. Please contact the Parish Office or the ministry head listed here if you can lend a hand in helping your Parish.

RESPONSIBLE MINISTRY continues in all parishes throughout the Ottawa Archdiocese since its implementation in September, 2003. The program was developed to ensure the protection and safety of all members of our church community – the vulnerable, volunteers, paid staff and members of the community at large. This initiative requires a screening process designed to create a safe environment for all. Parish ministries are assigned a risk level and the appropriate screening measures for that level are conducted. Volunteers are asked to fill out basic information forms and in ministries considered high risk reference checks and police record checks are mandatory. The decision to develop and implement such a policy is based on values that are of paramount importance to everyone who serves the needs of the people of God.
