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 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.

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

If you enter the garage and there are no spots available, you will need to exit and find parking nearby. 

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.
