First Unitarian Congregation Of Ottawa

A community that recognizes that all natural cycles of sickness and health, birth and death, and love and loss occur every day within the surroundings of its institutions and regular activities is a compassionate community. Its residents recognize that care for one another at times of crisis and loss is not simply a task solely for health and social services but is everyone·s responsibility. Compassionate communities are inclusive of schools, workplaces, faith communities, art, literature, unions, etc
