The opening service will be livestreamed and ballot results will be posted on the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa's website and social media platforms.

This Lent, come and journey with the people of Israel as they move from slavery in Egypt through the wilderness to freedom. The journey is filled with trials and temptations as well as guidance and grace as they learn what it is to be who God called them to be.

Sundays, March 1st, March 15th, March 22nd - bring your coffee and lunch to the Wicksteed Room (in the undercroft) after the 10:30 am service on and join Canon Doug who is facilitating this journey.

Vestry is the annual business meeting of our Cathedral, at which the budget for 2026 is presented and appointments and elections are made. On March 1st at noon, there will be a pre-vestry finance information meeting in the Lambeth Room for all those who are interested in a deeper dive into the budget. Your questions are always helpful!

Vestry will be held the following Sunday, March 8th at noon in the Great Hall. All are welcome to attend, however to vote, you must be able to sign the following declaration: “I solemnly declare that: I am a member of this congregation of the Anglican Church of Canada; I am of the full age of sixteen years; I am a regular worshiper with this congregation; I do not intend to vote as a member of any other Vestry in the election of Church Wardens or of Members of Synod during the ensuing year, and I am a supporter of this congregation by regular contributions to its maintenance.”

Gather during the late afternoon when the light is soft and warm, for a lovely service sung by the Girls Choir, honouring David, Bishop in Wales. A wonderful time to be reflective during Lent. 

Come, journey through Lent and celebrate Easter with joy at Christ Church Cathedral Ottawa!

On Thursday, Mary became a Canadian citizen! She is delighted to be a citizen in a "country grounded in freedom, warmth, respect, common sense, ethics and science," and she is very grateful for our Cathedral community. And we are happy for you and blessed by you, Mary!

It is easy to be moved by the sacred beauty and warm welcome of Christ Church Cathedral — a place some encounter briefly, and others come to call their spiritual home. It is a place that nourishes the soul through worship and music, care and community, and it exists because of generosity: the generosity of those who have gone before us, and the generosity of those who give today.

To share hope faithfully and sustainably, our Cathedral must be well resourced. As an expression of joy and gratitude, you are invited to consider how you might respond.

Click below to explore an invitation to give, to see what your giving makes possible, and to learn how it is easy to give. You may also wish to hear Dean Beth’s sermon from December 14th, which reflects on Giving with Joy. The livestream is available here.

Thank you for responding to this place that sustains you by offering your own gifts in return.
