Donations to the Hearts of Compassion Fund support the Community Ministries of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. They provide meals, shelter, mental health support, refugee sponsorship, and other essential services across our Diocese. Belong Ottawa is one of those ministries.

Every meal shared, shower provided, and respite offered is about more than meeting an immediate need. These moments create opportunities for connection, dignity, and belonging, helping people build stability and hope for the future.

As of April 2026, Belong Ottawa’s programs:

-Served 14,411 meals
-Offered 1,222 respites
-Washed 522 loads of laundry
-Provided 622 showers

Its three programs are Centre 454, St. Luke’s Table, and The Well; all of which provide necessary services to people who need them in Ottawa.

Today is the Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost, and the reading is from Romans 12:6–8.

We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.

At the University of Ottawa, St. Albans is helping students to find both a meal and community.

Through a partnership between St. Albans and the University of Ottawa Student Union's Fed Up food insecurity initiative, hundreds of students received free, nutritious meals this past academic year. The meals also provided the opportunity for connection with one another and St. Albans volunteers in lunch lines and dining halls.

In the wake of this successful initiative, UOttawa chaplain and St. Albans incumbent Rev. Michael Garner hopes to continue building partnerships with churches and community groups.
