Message from Norm F., Ottawa ON

Rather than have a list of complaints or short comings I have made a list of goals and activities that would engage me and meet some of my felt needs

1. Face to face contacts with all identified parishioners 4 times a year. I have semi regular visits from other denominations who know me by my first name, make a quick assessment of my well being, wish me well then move on.

2. Eucharist, prayer and or music services four times a week in all parishes. A few minutes of prayer in church once a week does not meet my spiritual needs

3. An expectation that eighty- five per cent of all parishioners attend church services weekly is not an unreasonable expectation

4.Each parish to have an active web page with the content to be up dated weekly. There should be a complete list of all parishes by diocese..

5. Each priest should have sufficient training to be computer literate.

6. The national church should organize, play a leading role or participate in at least annually a forum to review common issues with active religions in Canada. This would address understanding, and identify administrative efficiencies.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Norm F of Ottawa
