A campaign was launched on May 26th, 2019 to help us preserve one of Canada's musical gems: the organ here at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica.

It is the first organ to use electric key action in North America and one of the three outstanding organs in the history of the Casavant firm.

Please pick up a leaflet at the main entrance for more information on what the project entailed. You may also click on the picture.

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.

February 26th - Ash Wednesday, our observance of Lent begins with three bilingual Masses at 12:15 pm, 5 pm and 7:30 pm.  Lent is a time to get rid of any 'dirt' that may exist in our lives and our relationships; to make peace with ourselves, with our neighbours, and with God. Lent is a ime to make room and to invite the Light of God into our hearts. Let us remember that Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence.  On those days, Catholics are not to eat meat and to take only one full meal.  In the Archdiocese of Ottawa, Catholics are invited to abstain from the consumption of meat on all Fridays of Lent.

Sunday May 24, 2020 at 3 pm; Marian concert by the Cathedral Choirs. Free will offering.
