Welcome to our Parish Community
Christ-led, Christ-fed, and hope filled.
DURING THE PANDEMIC CRISIS, DISPENSATION FROM SUNDAY MASS ATTENDANCE CONTINUES AT YOUR DISCRETION. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN TO THE MASS FROM SAINT MARY'S CATHEDRAL AT 8 AM, SUNDAY ON 92.7 FM (WQTK)
OR
WATCH THE LIVESTREAM MASS HERE.
St. Mary's Cathedral Parish--comprised of St.Mary's Cathedral and Notre Dame Church--joyfully invites 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 the entire parish is 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 Church and St. Mary’s Cathedral is a family of faith to welcome and serve you and the community of Ogdensburg. The two churches were canonically joined and incorporated as St. Mary's Cathedral Parish on July 1, 2017. Fr. Joseph Morgan is the Rector.
If you are a visitor to our community we welcome you to join us for Daily mass or Weekend Mass at one of our churches. 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 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! -

Stop, Drop and Pray
How often do you say, "I'll keep you in my prayers," to someone in a difficult place? And then not remember?
We all live "in the moment", so here's a suggestion. Ask immediately, "Would you like me to pray with you?" You will ALWAYS get a 'yes!' So what do you do next? Most of us are not skilled at extemporanious prayer. But there is an easier and extemely powerful way to make that prayer on the spot. It takes about a minute.
Take a moment right now and click this [LINK]. Barbara Alderfer, author of the book, "Stop, Drop, and Pray", will teach you this amazing method. You already know the prayer.

New on Formed
Sometimes we get so caught up in the depth of our faith that we forget what it was like to first wrestle with the big questions – Who am I? What am I searching for? What’s our shared story? Who is Jesus? Why do we need a Church? Is there a God? We all need to get back to the basics to make sure the foundation is strong.We are excited to introduce The Search, a new 7-part Augustine Institute Original Series with the goal of lighting that first fire in those who don’t yet know the faith or reigniting the fire in those who need a primer on the foundational questions.
Evangelization Opportunity
The Search recasts the vision for what life’s all about to those who’ve walked away—those who are asking big questions. We need to answer them well so they see the Catholic Faith as it truly is. Each week, a new episode is presented on Formed.org, and the previous episode is deleted. It's a wonderful oppotunity for you to help familhy members and friends find their own answers to life's great questions. Just use one of the share methods (email or social media) that appear on the opening screen of any episode. We guarantee you'll know who you want to give this treasure as soon as you watch it yourself!
