Throughout the month of October, Masses of Remembrance will be held across our archdiocese for children lost through miscarriage or in infancy. These Masses are an opportunity to entrust to the Lord our children who have gone home to his arms. Names of children, submitted to us through our online form, will be honoured at the beginning of each Mass.
You are welcome to submit your child's name regardless of whether or not you can join us for a Mass. Scroll down the page to submit using our online form, or visit the Woven diocesan page for resources and other Mass dates.
The Annunciation Parish Mass will be held on October 17, 2026, at 9am, followed by a light reception. All are welcome.
Join our volunteer team to help make this Mass beautiful, including set-up and clean-up crews for the reception. We are also looking for donations of baked goods, cheese and cracker plates, sliced meat trays, and canned sparkling water for the reception.
If you’d like to contribute to this event, please fill out the form below! It’s a beautiful way to serve families in our parish who are grieving.
About Woven
Woven is an initiative within the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall to support mothers and families grieving miscarriage and infancy loss. Our God has a great tenderness for the grieving and the broken-hearted. The shortest verse in scripture records his own moment of grief at the death of a loved one: “Jesus wept.” (John 11:35).
If you’ve lost a child, know God is with you in your heartbreak. Your child has always been known and loved by him.
