April 22, 1987 at 5:00 PM. Archbishop Joseph Aurele Plourde presided over a solemn Mass of Thanksgiving on the occasion of his 20th Anniversary of installation as Archbishop of Ottawa. In speaking of this milestone in his life, he said “I do not wish to be honored. Instead I wish to gather together the people of the Diocese to pray with them.” All the faithful were invited. During this special celebration, a number of the faithful of the Diocese, received special honors from the Pope John Paul II at the Archbishop’s request. After Mass the recipients were invited to the Archbishop's Annual Charity Dinner at the Ottawa Congress Centre.
