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.
Saint Patrick's is making our Sunday Vigil Mass (Saturday 4:30 pm) available by livestream. The Mass will be available as a video recording on Sunday morning. The livestream and the recorded Mass are available on our YouTube Channel - click here. If you are viewing before Saturday 4:30 pm, you may need to refresh your browser to connect to the livestream.
The online webstore is accepting and fulfilling orders at https://www.stpgiftsandbooks.ca

It is a reminder that the Gospel of St. Mark is the shortest of all the Gospels, which leaves room for these supplements from the Beloved Disciple. During Ordinary Time, the Church celebrates the fullness of the mystery of the Lord Jesus. On Sunday, the Lord’s Day ...
