Changing Pandemic ProtocolsIn accordance with recent changes in provincial guidelines, proof of vaccination is no longer required to attend services at Christ Church Cathedral. Also, as of Sunday, March 6th, our cathedral is once again fully open! Masks are required to be worn at all times in the cathedral and related spaces. However, another positive change is that readers, intercessors, the preacher and the celebrant are now able to remove their masks whilst fulfilling these roles during worship. What welcome signs as a new spring approaches! |

Getting to the CathedralIn an effort to encourage people back downtown, the City of Ottawa is offering free parking at select parking garages, as well as free transit. Please make sure to check the information, as this will be beneficial in terms of coming to our cathedral! |

Contemplative Prayer for LentWe live in a world of many voices trying to get our attention. To focus on one voice can be difficult. During Lent we are offering an opportunity to be silent to listen for the 'still small voice' that we associate with God. At 12:05 pm on Thursdays during Lent you are invited to gather in the Cathedral for a time of prayer, reflection and silence, to calm your mind and open your heart to the silence that is God's presence. |
