On the first, third, fourth, (and fifth, when applicable) Saturdays of each month, we serve a hot breakfast to about 60 guests from 8am-9:30am. Everyone is welcome, no questions asked and no means testing required. Breakfast normally consists of eggs, sausages or bacon, toast, and of course coffee, prepared by parish and community volunteers.
(On the second Saturday of each month, the breakfast program is offered out of Calvin Presbyterian on 26 Delisle, just a block south of CCDP.)
Our magnificent three manual, tracker-action organ was installed in the chancel of the church in the spring of 1982 and dedicated to the Glory of God and in memory of those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.
The organ, built by the Karl Wilhelm Company of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, has a classical continental design. The case is made of white oak and the pipe shades are of carved butternut. Voiced in the classic French style, its 36 stops and 50 ranks are capable of interpreting a wide variety of organ literature.
Installation required considerable changes to the chancel including moving the altar forward and arranging choir seating to either side. These renovations prompted the design and production of our award-winning Benedicite Kneelers, done in needlepoint by a dedicated group of church members.
