Feast & FAith
Pull Up A seat
On Tuesday evenings we host a FREE home cooked meal and discussion gathering called “Feast and Faith.” The Oblate Lounge in the St. Joseph’s Church (beside uOttawa campus) is the OCC living room, where we gather, eat, and enjoy a time and space that feels like ‘home.’ We regularly invite professors and professionals to come in, join us for supper and for those who are interested in sticking around, our guests share their stories and help us consider ways in which faith impacts what they do and how they do it. As citizens in God’s world, we want to ponder how Christianity integrates with all areas of life.
When: Tuesdays Evenings, Doors 5:00pm, Supper 5:30pm, Speaker 6:00pm
Where: St. Joseph Church – Oblate Lounge (Corner of Laurier & Cumberland – use Cumberland Entrance)
Who: All are welcome…really, even if it’s just to eat supper and run!
