Welcome to Notre-Dame Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic archbishop of Ottawa and the mother-church of the archdiocese of Ottawa. This historic building, begun in 1841, is the largest and oldest standing church in the nation's capital.

It is both the gathering place of a lively community of believers and a splendid example of Canadian religious art.  

You are always welcome to join us in worship on Sundays and weekdays, or to drop in for moments of quiet prayer and meditation.

On February 2, 2018, at 7:30 p.m., on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the Most Reverend Terrence Prendergast, SJ, presided at the Mass of the Dedication of the new altar at Notre Dame Cathedral. For more than a year, Mgr Daniel Berniquez, Rector of the Cathedral, had worked with a committee whose purpose was to consult and reflect on the characteristics and design of the new altar.  The committee sought the advice of several experts, especially those of architect Maxime Brault. Archbishop Prendergast approved the porposed plan for the new altar last fall. Since then, work on the construcion and installation of the new altar had been underway. We are extremely proud of this new altar. You can access photos of this event in the next module.
