Beautiful church, beautiful music, beautiful service
Loved attending service here. Also the architecture is just beautiful!
A beautiful and welcoming Anglican church. Classic gothic architecture. A solemn old fashioned service ( in the best sense!) a place for contemplation and prayer.
The highlight is the music. Outstanding organist and choir of boys and men ... absolutely top notch!
Coffee hour after the 10:30 service is welcoming all, visitors included.
This is a regular stop for me when I'm up the street on business. A wonderful, peaceful church. Lovely architecture and stained glass windows. The modern adjacent building has been integrated in an interesting and well executed way.
"The original parish of Christ Church Bytown was established in 1832 on unceded Algonquin territory. In 1870, architect King Arnoldi was commissioned to build a bigger church in the English Gothic style to harmonize with the new Parliament buildings. Named the Cathedral of the Diocese in 1897, it continues to nurture faith in creative and traditional ways, and is often used for ecumenical, interfaith and state events."
