introduction
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 (7:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m.), during lunch (12:15 p.m.), and after the workday (4:30 p.m.), with confessions before each Mass, and six Masses for Sunday Obligation.

message from the rector
June 25, 2017
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Our Youth Choir finished their participation at our liturgies last Sunday. They will be taking a break for the summer, as will our other choirs in coming weeks. As we did last year, there will be a “lighter musical program” at the Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass, as well as at the Sunday 11 a.m. and at 12:15 p.m. Masses. We are grateful to all of our choir members, and to our Choir Director Francesca Bailey, for the wonderful work that they have done in supporting our liturgies this past pastoral year. We wish all a restful summer – particularly resting voices – and look forward to their return in September.
Our Parish Pastoral Council met on Wednesday, June 14 and discussed the following items.

It was reported that our parish Facebook page continues to be visited with a stable number of followers. With respect to the Strategic Mission Plan, Bruce Wilson who is leading the discussion on this matter advised that Council members will be asked to provide their further and final comments ...
