On Sunday, 3 May 2026, Georges Bouliane passed away.

The Funeral Mass for Georges will be held in our church on Monday, 11 May 2026, at 11:00am, reception to follow in the parish hall.

Besides his family, our parish will miss him deeply, as will the Knights of Columbus and his former students and colleagues at St.George School and the Ottawa Catholic School Board. 

Without Georges' energy, leadership, competence and fidelity, St. George's parish would not be what it is today, it might not exist at all. We all and I personally owe him immense gratitude. You can read his obituary on sootoday.com. The photo below is from when Georges received the Benemerenti Medal (a papal honour) in 2018.

On Thursday, April 23rd, the Church celebrates the feast day of our beloved patron Saint George!

To celebrate this, we will have a vigil mass on Wednesday, April  22nd at 6:30pm.

We are honouring Our Blessed Mother Mary on the eve of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception by singing Vespers this Sunday, Dec. 7 at 6:30-7:15 PM in St. George’s church.

Vespers, or Evening Prayer, is an important part of the Catholic Church's official daily prayer, the Liturgy of the Hours.  It is one of the oldest Christian liturgical traditions, with origins tracing back to Jewish evening prayer.  The service includes chanted psalms, a hymn, a reading from scripture, a canticle from the Gospel (the Magnificat), and prayers.

Fun fact: The term "vespers" comes from the Latin word for "evening" and literally means "lamp lighting time," referring to when lamps were lit as darkness fell. 

Singers are gathering beforehand at 5PM in the church to rehearse the chants. All are welcome to drop in and learn with us.  Printed programs will be provided.

You are invited to our Annual Rorate Mass at St. Georges on December 6th, 2025 at 7am.

The Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. Because it is a votive Mass in Mary’s honour, white vestments are worn instead of Advent violet. In the dimly lit setting, priests and faithful prepare to honor the Light of the world, Who is soon to be born, and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter, illumined by the sun as our Faith is illumined by Christ.

Potluck breakfast following Mass. Please bring food to share!
