Ottawa's first English-speaking Roman Catholic Church, St Patrick's has long been a part of the city's history. Found in 1855 and determined a basilica in 1995, the church holds regular mass and services. The church was first designed by the same architect who designed the east and west blocks of the Parliament Buildings. While the outside, with a large protruding spire and many arched doors, is impressive, the inside is a stunning gothic style and constructed entirely of local stone. Shamrocks are subtley built into the design in unusual places. Solid oak pews, stained glass, stencilled dome ceiling and more make this church a traditional beauty.

Notre-Dame de Lourdes Grotto
Based on the original Notre-Dame de Lourdes in France, this grotto is complete with a statue of Mary. Stones comprise an arched shelter that houses the alter, also made of stones. Wooden park benches operate as pews and the entire area is encapsulated in shrubs and trees. Story has it that the church and grotto were built in 1887 when a local dignitary, Michel Cyr, donated land in exchange for a free seat in church.
Address: 435 Montreal Road, Vanier Ottawa ON

It took 50 years for this oldest surviving church to take its place in Ottawa since its first inception in 1839. Notre Dame is a site to see with painted and carved neo-Gothic interior, massive stained glass windows, a gilded statue of Maddonna with child and much more. Standing stark in the landscape, its two spires reach high, making the Basillica easy to find. The church is open for regular services as well as tours.
Address: 385 Sussex Drive Ottawa ON K1N 5H5
