St. Finnan's Basilica

The church was constructed from 1883 to 1885. In 1890 Bishop Alexander Mcdonnell chose

St. Finnan's as his cathedral

for of the newly created

Diocese of Alexandria. 

Following the creation of the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall, Pope Francis designated the church a minor basilica.

St. Raphael's Ruins

Until the 1840s, St. Raphael’s parish was the largest and most important ecclesiastical district for Anglophone Catholics in Upper Canada.

In 1970 a fire gutted the church leaving only the church walls.

 

Today, St. Raphael's Ruins, administered by the Friends of the Ruins, is a national historic site.

Calvary of the Divine Mercy

Eighteen years ago, Fr. Marcel Larouche, with the support of his parishioners at Ste-Marie-de-l'Assomption in Green Valley, had the idea of building a Calvary site. They were inspired by Saint Louis-Marie of Montfort who would end his great retreats by constructing a Calvary in the cities and villages

where he preached.

We offer opportunities for prayer and reflection, meetings and conferences.
