Relic of St. Francis Xavier
On Thursday, February 1, 2018, St. John the Apostle Parish was both humbled and blessed to host the relic of St. Francis Xavier.
This relic is the right forearm and hand of St. Francis Xavier (1506 - 1552). It is estimated he baptized more than 100,000 people with this arm. This relic typically remains in a reliquary in Rome at the Jesuit mother church,
The Church of the Gesu. The relic rarely leaves Rome, but was here on tour in Canada for the first time.
Over 1800 people flocked to St. John the Apostle Parish, many from out of town, to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to venerate the relic of St. Francis Xavier, considered by many to be the greatest evangelizer since St. Paul.

Our patron saint St. John the Apostle
Saint John the Apostle was one of “the Twelve” closest disciples of Christ. John and his older brother James worked in their father’s fishing business in partnership with Peter and Andrew. One fateful day, while mending their nets, Jesus called them to follow Him. Our Lord nicknamed John and James the “sons of thunder” because of their temperaments. This is shown in their wishing to call down fire from heaven on the Samaritans who rejected Jesus, and in their impetuous willingness to drink the cup of suffering that was to be our Saviour’s destiny.
John, James, and Peter formed the inner circle of Christ’s disciples. They were privileged to be at the raising of Jairus’ daughter, the Transfiguration, and the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. Only John and Peter were delegated to make preparations for the Last Supper. John was also the only apostle who did not forsake our Saviour during His Passion; the “beloved disciple” stood at the foot of the cross, where Christ made him the guardian of His Mother.
After Pentecost, John shared in Peter’s preaching and even imprisonment. Tradition tells us that after Mary’s Assumption John settled in Ephesus. He was later taken to Rome and plunged into boiling oil but miraculously suffered no injuries. He was then banished to the Greek island of Patmos, where he had the vision recorded in the Book of Revelation. Eventually John returned to Ephesus where he died of natural causes; the longest living apostle and the only one not to suffer a martyr’s death.
John is traditionally credited with authoring the Gospel of John, three epistles, and the Book of Revelation. He is often depicted in art as a young man holding his gospel or, borrowing from the vision of Ezekiel (1:10), symbolized by an eagle because his gospel soars as it dwells on Christ’s divinity.
Saint John the Apostle is invoked against burns, poisoning, and foot problems. He is the patron saint of authors, booksellers, burn victims, art dealers, editors, friendships, government officials, notaries, printers, scholars, tanners, theologians, and more. His feast day is December 27.

St. John the Apostle History
In the 1960's, Ottawa's population growth began spilling over into Nepean's north-east quadrant, placing increasing demands on the Our Lady of Fatima and St. Martin de Porres parishes. In supporting a re-definition of parish boundaries, Archbishop Lemieux established St. John the Apostle (SJA) Parish on October 8, 1966 and appointed Fr. John Whelan as founding pastor.
On October 16, 1966, the SJA Parish's first mass was celebrated in St. Raymond's School's gymnasium on Fellows Road. Sunday masses continued there while weekday masses were held in a small chapel in Fr. Whelan’s home on Southwood Drive. In September 1968, ground breaking took place on the former National Capital Commission property. In February 1968, construction began based on a design that SJA’s architect, Roger D’Astous, had previously created for the Paroisse de l’Enfant-Jésus in Tracy, Quebec.
On August 10, 1969, the first mass was celebrated in the new church on Baseline Road. On the Feast of St. John the Apostle (December 27, 1969), Archbishop Plourde and Fr. Whelan formally celebrated the blessing of the church and consecration of the altar.
In its history, the parish has organized countless activities and events with the help of so many parishioners, some of whom became priests and deacons. In September 1987, a parish newspaper, “Parish Life at St. John the Apostle” began publication to profile the many activities, and events taking place in our community, including those involving St. Brigid’s Summer Camp. On November 26, 1989, mass was celebrated by new Archbishop Gervais and televised on CBC’s Meeting Place. On May 7, 1992, the first meeting of parish volunteers took place for the Morrison Gardens Food Bank. On April 24, 2016, a 50th anniversary gala dinner was held with Bishop Reisbeck, Father Kerslake (Episcopal Vicar), Father Lindsay Harrison (current pastor), former pastors, and many parishioners, including founding members.
Changes to the church property have also been made over the years to enhance the worship space, meeting areas, rectory, and parking. For instance, on April 27, 1975, a light fixture above the tabernacle in the shape of three tongues of fire symbolizing the Trinity was donated. In 1980, offices were added. On October 6, 1988, a ceramic status of the Madonna and Child was installed in celebration of the Marian Year. In December 1991, the front entrance way to the church was enclosed to create a “glass house”. In 1999, the side entrance was extended. In 2007 and 2015, more accessible parking spaces were designated. In 2012, significant renovations took place to the church, including the Main Hall. On October 16, 2016, the 50th anniversary mass was celebrated by Archbishop Prendergast and a new baptismal font was blessed to welcome new Catholics to the faith community and remind us all of our baptismal call to evangelize as reflected in our mission statement: “The St. John the Apostle parish community, inspired by the Holy Spirit, strives to witness to the presence of Christ.”

Empower me
Empower me to be a bold participant, rather than a timid saint in waiting; to exercise authority of honesty, rather than to defer to power or deceive to get it; to influence someone for justice, rather than impress anyone for gain; and by grace, to find treasures of joy, of friendship, of peace hidden in the fields you give me daily to plow.
