Regarding the Future of Galilee Centre
Canadians for a Synodal Church is live!
Galilee Centre is now hosting the Canadians for a Synodal Church event.
The Zoom meeting will open as of 6:15 pm (Eastern Time).
We ask that participants stay muted, camera use is optional. The event will be recorded and a link to the recording will be distributed to all
registered participants within a week of the event.
We are delighted to have over 300 registered participants; please recognize that we may not have the time to address everyone’s questions during the session but we encourage you to share them with our moderator via the chat function.
Situated next to an old growth forest overlooking the Ottawa River, Galilee Centre is a welcoming holistic spiritual life centre that is an oasis of peace, care and comfort.
Sponsored by OMI Lacombe, our mission is to provide an environment, programs and services which nurture people’s personal and spiritual growth, enabling them to contribute to a healthier world.

Happy Holidays, Pull up a Chair Fundraiser
In celebration of the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday season,
we invite you to pull up a chair at Galilee Centre.
After many years, the time has come to replace our conference room chairs. With thanks to Cohen & Cohen of Ottawa,we were able to secure 50 new, stacking, fabric chairs for use in the Oak Room and other conference areas.
To help cover the cost of this one time expense, we are asking our community members to consider sponsoring a chair for $50, in the name of their family or a loved one, or in memory of someone who enjoyed spending time at Galilee. Each sponsored chair will have a nameplate added to honour our supporters.
Thank you in advance for pulling up a chair in support of Galilee. We are so blessed to have you all as part of our community. Click here to sponsor online or call the main office at 613-623-4242 x 21.
