introduction
Saint Patrick's Basilica has a long history in the City of Ottawa, being the first English-speaking Roman Catholic Parish in the original city. The present church was completed in 1875 and was declared a Basilica on Saint Patrick's Day, March 1995.
Beautiful as it is, Saint Patrick's Basilica is primarily a place of worship and reconciliation - Catholics citywide make use of the confessional at Saint Patrick's. It also serves the downtown core and offers Masses before work (7:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m.), during lunch (12:15 p.m.), and after the workday (4:30 p.m.), with confessions before each Mass, and six Masses for Sunday Obligation.

Seniors' Corner
We at Saint Patrick’s have plans to form a seniors’ group. The circumstances we now find ourselves in have changed how we may approach this in the short term. The group would be open to anyone fifty-five (55) years of age and older. Our goal is to stay connected and create a community where we can share in our thoughts, feelings and experiences when having some fun and learning about important aspects of our lives that are real today. Please click here for the Seniors Corner
and here for the Seniors' Form
Ushers RequiredOur procedures and guidelines have increased the need for ushers at our Sunday Masses (including the Saturday Vigil Mass). Four ushers at each Mass are the ideal team. This service is open to men and women, over the age of 18 years old, who are registered parishioners. If you are prepared to offer this service, please click here to complete the Usher's Form

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
In our Archdiocese, the month of August is the traditional month for new pastoral appointments. There are some which affect us at Saint Patrick’s. Fr.
