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.

Sunday, March 15th and 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.

Gather during the late afternoon when the light is soft and warm, for a lovely service sung by Altos, Tenors and Basses, honouring Patrick, Bishop in Ireland. A wonderful time to be reflective during Lent. 

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

On Saturday, March 7th the girls had a fun time playing laser tag! The good news is that our Director of Music and Organist seems to have survived unscathed. Thanks to all who made the evening possible.

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.
