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
August 5, 2018
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
August! The summer seems to be rushing by! We are thankful to the Lord for what has been, in the main, a glorious summer. May we remember the days of August as the halcyon days of a splendid summer. Godspeed to all who are travelling in the coming weeks.
Wednesday, August 8th is the Memorial of St. Dominic. Let us remember, with thanks, the Dominican Fathers who have ministered – and continue to do so – in our parish. We pray also for their apostolate of teaching and research which continues at their College on Empress Avenue. We understand that Fr. Martin Farrell, O.P., is well on the road to recovery, continues his hospital ministry in Manhattan and plans to return to Ottawa in October.
Wednesday, August 15th, is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is one of the principal Marian celebrations of our Church’s liturgical calendar. As is our practice at Saint Patrick’s, the 12:15 p.m. Mass will be celebrated with greater liturgical solemnity.
Sound system – projects do not advance as quickly as hoped – or expected – during the summer when summer vacations change plans. We now understand that the system will be restored to service during the week of August 10. The processors and technical labour will cost us approximately $10,000.
Fr Kevin
