What a day at the Great Mayo Garage Sale!

The Art-o-mat® - Don't Go 'Round Artless! hit the road, the lever got a workout, and we heard 23 kerplunks in support of the St. Malachy Parish fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, bought a token, asked questions, and went home with a tiny work of art.

Regular hours to visit the Art-o-mat® at Our Lady of Light Atelier begin June 28.

A moment. A token. A tiny work of art.

Our Lady of Light Atelier is glad to be a partner of this year’s Dirty Mayo ride—part of the Shield & Valley Gravel Series.

Dirty Mayo (on June 28th) is an 82 km open-course gravel ride out of Mayo, QC (St. Malachy in Mayo)—rolling through the Laurentian foothills with a mix of gravel, pavement, steady climbs, and a few sections that keep you challenged.

Along the way, riders can roll into Our Lady of Light Atelier for a proper refuel and recharge. Water, a bite, a place to step inside and take a breath. A former church, now open as a community arts space, kept going through shared use and a steady stream of people coming through the door. Take a look around while you’re there.

This series brings people together and supports the places that make rides like this possible. Proceeds go to Friends for Life Bike Rally—a 600 km ride from Toronto to Montreal supporting organizations such as Bruce House in Ottawa and local hosts such as OLLA.

As the Irish saying goes, may the road rise to meet you—on this ride, it rises steadily and asks you to match it.

Thank you to for a truly wonderful afternoon at Our Lady of Light Atelier.

With a programme that moved effortlessly between light-hearted, funny, and deeply moving moments — including a beautiful performance of Imagine accompanied by sign language — the concert celebrated the beauty of music, community, and the spirit of Christmas.

Heartfelt thanks as well to everyone who joined us and chose to spend this time together, filling the space with warmth, attention, and generosity of spirit. ✨

🎄 On the eve of the first Advent - and nearing the 129th Anniversary of the first mass in Our Lady of Light, we have decided to illuminate the space with a Moravian star. It’s a bit hard to see from the outside but the glow can be seen from the road! We are two weeks out to our first Winter event and the space is transforming! The team is busy testing the heating so we can all be cosy for the Pentatonix-style Christmas concert featuring a very special atmosphere 🕯️ and the musical stylings of choir on Dec. 14th at 3PM. Tickets are $ 20.25 per person (children 12 and under are free) and will also be available at the door. We are so glad they will make the trek out to Mulgrave as they have so many concerts in Ottawa (in the Senate of Canada - Sénat du Canada, and at Canadian Tire Centre, etc. no less). Space is limited so please secure your spot either by purchasing your ticket or reaching out to let us know you are coming. It will be an unforgettable Christmas concert in a special space!
