Christ-led, Christ-fed, and hope filled.

Notre Dame Church and St. Mary's Cathedral joyfully invite the people of our "Maple City" to the journey of faith through the proclamation of the Gospel, the Celebration of the Eucharist and the Sacraments, and the loving service of neighbor.

Ogdensburg was dedicated to Our Lady from its very beginning, when in 1748 Father Francois Piquet established an Indian Fort that he  named La Présentation at the juncture of the St. Lawrence and Oswegatcie Rivers. He celebrated the first solemn Mass on the site where Notre Dame Church now stands on the Feast of the Holy Trinity, June 1, 1749. The town that grew up around La Présentation became Ogdensburg, and the church was first incorporated as "Notre Dame de la Victoire" in 1859. The first St. Mary's Chapel was dedicated in 1827.

Welcome to our website, which we dedicate to Our Blessed Mother, as both parishes are consecrated to her: "Notre Dame de la Victoire" (originally) and St. Mary's Cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Church community of Notre Dame and St. Mary’s Cathedral--Our Lady's Parishes--is a family of faith to welcome and serve you and the community of Ogdensburg.  Fr. Joseph Morgan is the Rector of St. Mary’s Cathedral and Pastor of our Notre Dame Parish.  The Two parishes have recently been linked together for pastoral purposes, while retaining their separate canonical identities. 

If you are a visitor to our community we welcome you to join us for Daily mass or Weekend Mass at one of our Parishes.  You will find links below for locations as well as Mass times in our Calendar.  If you are a new or not so new resident of Ogdensburg looking to join our Faith community, we invite you to explore our web-site, especially the pages under the “I’m New” navigation tab.

Please keep in mind that our “New” website is a work in progress and we are always working to make it a more useful resource for you. Your comments, questions, and suggestions are most welcome!
