At the Feb 2015 vestry St Matthias voted in favour of sponsoring an Iraqi family to come to Ottawa from Jordan where they have sought temporary refuge. Our refugee work is pressing ahead. We are now in the process of creating the detailed lists of tasks for welcoming the family. If you are interested in helping with some of this, please contact the incumbent or wardens." Donations to the refugee fund can be made through the parish envelopes or here. If donating online note in the message/instruction area that the donation if for the refugee fund.
