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.

Tickets are not reqired for any of our Masses. Entrance is on a fist come first seated basis.
