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, during lunch, and after the workday, with Confessions before each Mass, and six Masses for Sunday Obligation.
Saint Patrick's is making our Sunday Vigil Mass (Saturday 4:30 pm) available by livestream. The Mass will be available as a video recording on Sunday morning on our YouTube Channel - click here.
Let us pray for small and medium-sized businesses, hard hit by the economic and social crisis, so they may find ways to continue operating, and serving their communities.

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
This Sunday, July 24, Pope Francis is beginning his seven-day visit to Canada as a step of reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples.
