Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

Jubilee Year – 3rd Archdiocesan Historic Church Tour

Mark your calendars for the third Jubilee Year Historic Church Tour!

On Saturday, July 19th, starting at 1 PM, we will discover the church of St. Andrew’s West (17298 County Rd 18, St Andrews West) followed by St. Finnan’s Basilica (72 St Paul St, Alexandria). Mass has been celebrated in St. Andrew’s West since 1784, and both explorer Simon Fraser and John Sandfield Macdonald, Ontario’s first premiere, are buried here. St. Finnan’s Basilica is a former Cathedral, and features a fully-original 1907 Casavant pipe organ. Both churches are beautiful examples of neo-Gothic architecture in 19th century Ontario.

Tours will be given in English. Come discover the hidden gems of the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall!

No registration is required and all are welcome. Participants must arrange their own transportation.

Contact tate.pumfrey@ottawacornwall.ca with any questions regarding the tour.
