Call Directions Website

St. Finnan's Basilica St. Finnan's is a spectacular example of the earliest Cathedrals constructed in Upper Canada. By 1853, St. Finnan's became a cathedral.

Finnan's has been a testament to the Catholic community in Glengarry for well over a century and a half. An older church stood on this site beside the older cemetery since 1833, a year after the parish was founded by the Reverend Alexander Macdonell, first Catholic Bishop of Upper Canada. Finnan's Parish boasted 265 families of whom 134 were Macdonalds of various spellings. Finnan's Church was dedicated in 1885, but work continued over the next 25 years. The present steeple, bells and cross were installed in 1902. In 1890, when the Diocese of Alexandria was created, the Reverend Alexander Macdonell became the first Bishop of Alexandria and St.

Thank you to the Knights of Columbus Council 9780. 🙏

We are incredibly grateful to the members of the Knights of Columbus Council 9780 for their generous $1,000 gift in support of Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation’s CT Scanner Campaign.

This gift is a beautiful reflection of the community spirit that continues to move this campaign forward. Local organizations like the Knights of Columbus Council 9780 play such an important role in strengthening our hospital and supporting the patients and families who rely on care close to home.

We’re in the final stretch, and our community has already brought us so far. Now, we need your support to help Bring It Home and bring HGMH’s first onsite CT scanner to our community by March 2027.

Every gift moves us closer to having this essential diagnostic equipment available right here at HGMH.

Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants envers les membres des Chevaliers de Colomb, Conseil 9780, pour leur généreux don de 1 000 $ à la campagne pour le tomodensitomètre de la Fondation de l’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial.

Ce don est un bel exemple de l’esprit communautaire qui continue de faire avancer cette campagne. Des organismes locaux comme les Chevaliers de Colomb Conseil 9780 jouent un rôle important pour soutenir notre hôpital et les patients et familles qui comptent sur des soins près de chez eux.

Chaque don nous rapproche de cet équipement diagnostique essentiel, ici même à HGMH.
