WELCOME to the website of  Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in   Petawawa, Ontario, Canada. We are a Roman Catholic Parish under the leadership and guidance of Most Rev. Michael Mulhall, Bishop of Pembroke.         www.pembrokediocese.com

The Mission of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish is to Proclaim the Good News to all the world and to Baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 198)

Catholic belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith or credo called the Nicene Creed:

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
 
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
 
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
 
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
 
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
 
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
 
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
 
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
