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! -

JOIN OUR ROSARY BEFORE MASS
If you arrive for Mass half an hour early, you've probably noticed a small group praying the Rosary. This is led by members of the Legion of Mary in response to the Blessed Mother's request during her appearances at Fatima, Portual in 1917.
Our Lady expressed her wish that a special devotion to Her Immaculate Heart be encouraged among all the faithful through the daily recitation of the Rosary. She gave the three children seers a list of fifteen promises to everyone who practices this devotion.Read Mary's Promises HERE and HERE.

STOP, DROP & 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.

"Have a medal struck according to this model; all those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around their necks."
