Thank you for visiting the website of Saint Patrick Basilica Ottawa.  Whether this is your first visit, you come here regularly, or once in a while, please know that you are welcome!  We ask for your prayers.

Saint Patrick Basilica has a long history in the city of Ottawa - the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall.  Located in the heart of downtown, within walking distance of Canada's Parliament and other places of prominence, the church is often described as a spiritual respite in the midst of centretown.  We are continually grateful, not only for those who participate in our daily Mass and who come to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but also for those who visit during the day for quiet prayer and reflection.

Our theme for this Lent comes from Pope Francis:  Lent is a time of renewal!  May this holy season of prayer, sacrifice and almsgiving be for you a time of renewal and grace as we all strive to get closer to Jesus.

Thank you again for visiting!


Fr Steve
