Following the completion of the Sparks Street Steps Project last year, we are delighted to share that the final phase of the restoration has now been completed. This week, just in time for Doors Open Ottawa, the beautiful heritage wooden doors were restored.

The project included repairing significant cracks and other signs of wear, as well as repainting the doors inside and out. This essential work makes the doors weather-tight. Anyone who has stood near the doors in inclement weather will appreciate that snow, wind and rain will no longer whistle through!

If you would like to support this project and help preserve our historic building, please consider making a donation.

This evening service in the Good Shepherd Chapel is a soft and gentle way to end the day. Please access the Cathedral via the west Sparks Street steps. Come and enjoy!

Bishop Kathryn extends her thanks to all the clergy, laity and musicians who worked to make the Pentecost service with confirmations and receptions so special.

The purpose of this Vestry is to approve the audited financial statements for 2025. So if you are interested in financial details, this is the meeting for you! Please contact Nicholas at the Cathedral office if you have any questions.

The annual Festive Market and Tea will be held on the last Saturday of November. During your summer activites and travels, perhaps you will spot items that would be perfect for donating for the sale.  Start thinking/collecting now for drop off in November.

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.
