Our Pastors

Fr. Ken Lao, CC

On August 15, 2008, I joined the Companions of the Cross in Ottawa. I was ordained to the priesthood on June 6, 2015 and I spent my first two years as Associate Pastor at St. Timothy Catholic Church in Toronto. I was then assigned to be the Pastoral Administrator at Holy Trinity Pastoral Unity in Halifax, NS in 2017, before receiving my present assignment as Associate Pastor here at St. Mary’s Parish in Ottawa.

Fr. Mark Goring, CC

When I was first ordained, I was the associate pastor at St. Mary’s for 4 years. It’s nice to be back! I’ve also worked as the Companions of the Cross Vocations Direction, Chaplain at York University in Toronto and Director of the Catholic Charismatic Center in Houston, Texas

Homilies

Give God Permission

Fr. Bob believed that if enough people give God permission God will go to work and do wonderful things that we can’t even imagine. When enough of us give God permission he will move!

Service

What are we doing with the time talent and treasure that the Lord has given us? Are we using it just for ourselves or are we giving it to others?

Appreciate the Baby Steps

If we want to get anywhere with accomplishing our dreams it’s all about the baby steps. We need to learn to appreciate baby steps. Our only goals should be baby steps.

He Fights Our Battles

When we have our eyes fixed on the Lord he will fight our battles. The battle belongs to the Lord. Fix your eyes on the Lord and watch him go to battle for you.
