Make me go in the path of your commandments, for that is my desire.

-Served 18,019 meals
-Offered 1,489 respites
-Washed 798 loads of laundry
-Provided 714 showers

Its three programs are Centre 454, St. Luke’s Table, and The Well; all of which provide necessary services to people who need them in Ottawa.

At first glance, Saint Bede’s Church in Nolan's Corners looks like a simple 1886 red-brick building. But there's more here than you think! ⛪️✨
