Relics of St. John Paul II at Ottoway Catholic Parish

About

The Ottoway Parish was founded in May 1957, when a formal contract was signed between the Franciscan Conventual Fathers and the Archdiocese. The Parish was established on 14th July 1957, and a house for use as a Presbytery was purchased in October 1958 – until then, a caravan had been used for this purpose.

The Franciscan Conventual Fathers concluded their work in the Parish on 25th June 1978. On 30th November Fathers Marian Szablewski, Wlodzimierz Sobolewski and Franciszek Trzupek arrived from Poland and on the very next day, 1st December, they officially took over the Parish duties.

Parish Hall

The Parish Hall has been alongside the St. Maximilian Kolbe Church for over thirty years. The parishioners mainly use the Hall as a place for parish luncheons, recreation, and cultural get-togethers. The Hall is also available for hire as a wedding reception venue, birthdays, etc.

Prayer Groups

The aim of our Parish Family is for us, as God’s people, to participate in Christ’s saving work and to give each other spiritual and material help. The Parish embraces its role in the care and education of its families and their children which come from several different ethnic groups. The largest groups are from Poland, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indochina.
