Le diocèse d’Alexandria- Cornwall fusionnera-t-il avec celui d’Ottawa?
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
SainteMarie. « Nous n’avons pas encore pris de décision à ce sujet, mais c’est toujours une possibilité, a expliqué celui qui est éga- lement archevêque du diocèse d’Ottawa. » C’est à la fin d’une période de 18 mois queMgr Prendergast décidera, une fois pour toutes, l’avenir du diocèse et fera sa recom- mandation au pape. « Les prochains mois seront un défi. Ensemble, nous réfléchirons sur les besoins d’Alexandria-Cornwall, son plan pastoral d’évangélisation et de renou- vellement, et comment l’avenir pourrait se dérouler », a-t-il déclaré au Journal .
Mgr Prendergast a expliqué aussi que l’idée de fusionner les deux diocèses ne date pas d’hier. « Ça fait longtemps que certaines personnes nous demandent si on va fusionner avec le diocèse d’Ottawa, a-t-il confié. Plusieurs espèrent que ça se concrétise tandis que d’autres préfèrent que l’on ne fusionne pas. » Originalement, le Vatican pensait bien faire en proposant de fusionner le diocèse à celui de Kingston. « Ils se sont dit que les deux régions semblaient bien similaires, a souligné Mgr Prendergast. Les deux se
trouvent sur le bord du fleuve St-Laurent. Mais plusieurs francophones se sont expri- més contre la fusion des deux diocèses. » « Le diocèse d’Ottawa est bilingue et semble être la solution la plus naturelle, a poursuivi l’archevêque. Plusieurs résidents de la région ont des membres de leur fa- mille qui habitent à Ottawa et vice-versa. Plusieurs écoles dans Stormont. Dundas et Glengarry sont situées dans le territoire du diocèse d’Ottawa. » Le diocèse d’Ottawa compte quelque 400 000 catholiques répartis dans 111
Couvrant la région de Cornwall à Alexandria, le diocèse portant ces deux noms pourrait bien être fusionné à celui d’Ottawa dès 2017. C’est ce qu’a expliqué l’archevêque Terrence Prendergast, nouvel évêque du diocèse d’Alexandria-Cornwall. Il a ré- cemment été nommé à ce poste suite au départ de l’évêque Marcel Damphousse, qui présidemaintenant le diocèse de Sault

paroisses, 177 prêtres diocésains, 102 prê- tres actifs, 848 religieuses, 147 frères et 60 diacres permanents. Pour sa part, le diocèse d’Alexandria- Cornwall demeure l’un des plus petits au Canada et comprend 32 paroisses, 36 prê- tres diocésains actifs, neuf prêtres et 56 000 catholiques, 32 religieuses, 13 frères et 16 diacres permanents. Le nouvel évêque d’Alexandria-Cornwall Mgr Prendergast, 71 ans, est bilingue, est né et a grandi àMontréal. Le nouvel évêque du diocèse d’Alexandria-Cornwall termine maintenant sa neuvième année comme archevêque d’Ottawa. « C’est beaucoup de boulot, mais j’ai un évêque auxiliaire qui m’aide énormément », a déclaré celui qui était autrefois archevêque de Halifax et administrateur apostolique de Yarmouth. Celui-ci a confirmé que le père Kelvin Maloney (pasteur de la cathédrale Saint- Finnan à Alexandria) restera aussi vicaire général, ou commandant en second au dio- cèse local. Mgr Prendergast a également fait remarquer que l’évêque auxiliaire à Ottawa pourrait être impliqué dans les questions avec le diocèse Alexandria-Cornwall.
« Nous avons eu une très bonne réu- nion avec les prêtres locaux, a déclaréMgr Prendergast. Le fait que nous ayons décidé d’attendre 18mois afin de prendre une dé- cision est encourageant. » L’archevêque a bien pris en note ce que lui ont dit les prêtres, soit qu’il y aurait un sentiment de perte, si, après avoir eu un évêque durant 125 ans, il n’y avait personne qui habite à proximité de la communauté. » Mais pour l’instant, Mgr Prendergast pré- voit profiter de son nouveau poste afin de rencontrer plusieurs nouvelles personnes. « Chaque diocèse a son propre caractère, son propre charme, sa propre histoire, a-t-il dit. Pour moi ce qui est important est de respecter l’église et les populations locales.» Plus de 100 ans dans la communauté Pendant les années 1780, les Écossais catholiques et leurs prêtres se sont installés dans les comtés de Stormont et Glengarry. Les premières paroisses à s’établir étaient Saint Andrew, dans le comté de Stormont, et Saint-Raphaël, dans le comté de Glengarry. En 1802, Pierre Denault, évêque de Québec, a accordé le statut canonique à ces paroisses.
Le révérend Alexander Macdonell, nom- mé le troisième pasteur de Saint-Raphaël en janvier 1805, est devenu vicaire général
pour l’évêque de Québec en 1807. Il a été mis en charge de toutes les activités pasto- rales pour le Haut-Canada. Avec résidence à Saint-Raphaël et avec les mêmes respon- sabilités, il est devenu l’évêque auxiliaire de Mgr Plessis en 1819. Le 27 janvier 1826, il a été nommé le premier évêque de Kingston, mais il n’a pas quitté Saint Raphael avant 1829. Le diocèse d’Alexandria a été créé le 23 janvier 1890, mais c’est le 17 septembre 1976 que Mgr Eugène LaRocque a obtenu la permission d’apposer le nomde Cornwall au diocèse d’Alexandria et d’avoir une cocathédrale à Cornwall. La cathédrale Saint-Finnan est située à Alexandria et la Cocathédrale de la Nativité est située à Cornwall.

For Elizabeth Gagnon, tea is much more than a simple beverage. It represents hope, hard work and mo- tivation. “Tea makes me think of my great grandmother,” she explains in an interview with The Journal . “She used to tell me that it was the first thing she ever did, when she im- migrated to Canada fromGermany. I hadmy first cup of tea at four years old and with her.” It’s no wonder that the hardworking woman therefore decided to launch Miss Liz Tea Party , an event that features a key speaker who aims at inspiring residents of Cornwall. The first edition of the Tea Party took place on January 24 at the Cornwall Legion and was a success. “Although we only got around 42 people, the feedback we got from them was simply amazing,” she expressed. “The people that attended were all in- spired by Carol Johnston,” added Paul Zach, Gagnon’s husband and butler for the night. “She is currently battling breast cancer.”

Johnson gave a 30-minute presentation on her acting struggle against the hated disease ad how she never gives up. “Doctors told her she could never run again,” said Gagnon. “But she managed to run two five-kilometer runs.” Admission for the event was free, but par- ticipants were asked to give donations of any kind. “They could either donatemoney, food items or even clothing,” explained Zach. “So we ended up with two bags of clothing, one bag of food and $140.” Themoney collected will be split and do- nated to two local agencies, Sexual Assault Support Services of Ontario and the Baldwin House. The food and clothing will be given over to the Agape Centre. In addition, a 50/50 drawwas held. “Half of themoney collected was given to the speaker and will go towards her chemotherapy treat- ments,” said Gagnon. In an odd twist of faith, Johnston’s aunt won the draw and gave her winnings to her niece. Gagnon already thinking ahead But although the event has passed, the tea lover is not stopping there. “I’m already planning my next event,” Gagnon said, with a smile forming on her lips. “For the next edition, I’mhoping to cater it to men.” Gagnon explained that she had heard from several sources that protective services that were once offered to men had all but dis- appeared in Cornwall. “There’s nothing for

to relax with a nice hot cup of tea.” She also already has ideas for future edi- tions of the event. “I’m hoping to have one that talks about mental health and other topics that affect a lot of residents of this city.” Gagnon’s event proves one thing: that tea and positivity go hand in hand.

Brockville mayor visits Cornwall
Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy had an opportunity to welcome his peer from Brockville, David Henderson, to Cornwall City Hall on January 25. The two mayors discussed issues relating to economic development, budget and taxation as well as raising Eastern Ontario’s profile. “Cornwall and Brockville have a lot of things in common beyond our close proximity,” said Mayor O’Shaughnessy. “It was a great opportunity to share ideas and discuss common issues that all municipalities face.” During his visit, Mayor Henderson also took time to meet with the City’s recently formed task force on Syrian refugee issues, to provide some insight on Brockville’s experiences on this issue. The task force, which is chaired by councillor Bernadette Clement, will be hosting a public forum in the near future. Pictured is Brockville mayor David Henderson signing the Book of Recognition as mayor O’Shaughnessy looks on. ... 16 et 29 ans? Tu es sans emploi? Tu as terminé tes études? Tu as entre

City workers to wear pink COMMUNITY IN ACTION
Employees at Cornwall Transit are jumping on board to support the Pink Shirt Day initiative, which is now in its sixth year in the Cornwall area. Transit employees will be wearing the recognizable pink shirts in conjunction with the national anti-bullying initiative on Wednesday, February 24. They are also issuing a challenge to other City of Cornwall departments to follow suit. “Cornwall Transit is an important part of our community and we are proud to support worthy causes such as this,” said Len Tapp, Transit Division manager. An initiative of the Boys and Girls Club, Pink Shirt Day raises funds to help the organization offer anti-bullying programs throughout the year. It also provides a venue to shed light on bullying and organizers are hoping to emphasize the importance of kindness. Pictured are Transit operator Ian Larkin, Operator/Relief supervisor Don Gagnon, Operator Ester de la Mata, Boys and Girls Club executive director Jacquie Richards, Transit secretary Gay Sullivan, Transit manager Len Tapp, and Operator/Relief supervisor Scott Szabadka.

devenus Ce qu’ils sont become What they have
Maggie MacDonald: successful writer from Cornwall
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
Born and raised in Cornwall but now residing in Toronto, the daughter of the well-known councillor ElaineMacDonald stresses that she still often visits her home- town. “I come home often to see her and other familymembers,” she said. “I love to visit the local parks and spend time taking nature walks in the Rotary Eco garden, and at local historical sites like the Lost Villages Museum. It’s great that so much of the waterfront is accessible to the public in Cornwall. Inmany communities along the Great Lakes and the Seaway, the water- front is private property, so it’s not as easy to go exploring, biking, or have a picnic. Cornwall residents are very lucky to have access to the river, and the waterfront trails are a real gem.”
Although she left Cornwall to pursue her career, MacDonald explained that her hometown shaped who she was and what she became. “The arts programming at CCVS, as well as the art courses I took at Saint Lawrence High School, were formative for me, shaping the way I see the world. The classes at Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School had exceptional students likeMandi Gosling and her little brother, but there were students of all levels of ability, including students with disabilities, who were fully appreciated in these environments. There was a spirit of inclusion, and the teachers fostered a sense that everyone had something of value to contribute. For example, we had Bobby Archambault on our high school
improv team. He lovedmusic and he had a great sense of humour and rhythm. He was legally blind and had challenges that other students did not face, but that wasn’t a barrier to being a great improv performer, and a great team player.” Being a talented and successful writer, MacDonald urges any resident of Cornwall interested by the idea of writing, to keep working at it. “It can be a struggle to get published at first but there are more op- tions now, and blogging can be a great way to get started,” she added. “It’s important to share your work and get feedback, so connecting with other writers is one of the best things you can do, both to improve and also to get the strength and encour- agement to keep going when it’s hard.”
Although working for an environmental charity called Environmental Defence, Maggie MacDonald was, for many years, a professional musician. “Now I chan- nel that energy into musical theatre and fiction writing,” she explained. “In 2012, I wrote and workshopped a play called Paper Laced with Gold about the impact of the Seaway.” MacDonald’s most recent production was amusical called Young Drones, which was staged at the SummerWorks festival in Toronto in 2013 and 2014. “I have new projects in the works but they are still under wraps.”

Seaway wine festival a hit

The 13 th annual Seaway International Wine Festival took place on January 16, at the Ramada Inn. The sold-out event had a Hollywood theme and therefore featured movie-theme objects, such as a Marilyn Monroe cake. Each year, the festival raises approximately $15,000 for local charities. This year, the charities chosen were Rachel’s Kids and the Children’s Aid Society. Organisers also pointed out that the event has been sold out for the past five years. Pictured are city councillors David Murphy and Justin Towndale. New achievement protocol for students in need The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and half a dozen other regional school boards along with four regional children’s aid societies (CAS) and the provincial government are working out the guidelines for a joint protocol to support the well-being and achievements of students who may be Crown or CAS wards.The protocols include development of educational success plans that would provide these students with enhanced educational, community and post-secondary opportunities. The plans will cover both the academic goals of the students and also their personal dreams for the future, including their own involvement in the community. The school, government and CAS partners in the protocol development hope it will help improve the graduation rates for students who are Crown or CAS wards.– Gregg Chamberlain

First and only medical website to offer free delivery Medical Arts Pharmacy recently announced its launch of the first and only regional, bilingual website, where customers can enjoy free delivery anywhere in Canada on some orders. Pharmacy owners Harry Haramis, Suzie Pilon and Josée Lemay say online service could especially help people living in rural areas where ostomy supplies are rarely close to home. Ostomy Boutique features all major ostomy products, useful links and a Q&A section led by a licensed enterostomal (ET) nurse. Often a topic “off” the public radar screen, or one discussed in hushed tones, living with an ostomy is increasingly discussed openly. Thousands of ostomies are performed annually across Canada for people of all ages and conditions ranging from ulcerative colitis (UC) to Crohn’s disease, trauma (such as car accidents), colon cancer and others. To visit the website: www.ostomyboutique.ca – Francis Racine NHL Legends will visit Cornwall A group of NHL legends will be facing off against law enforcement all-stars in support of Special Olympics.
