St. Barnabas Church, Ottawa, On

St. Barnabas Church, Ottawa, On We are a diverse Anglican Parish community located in downtown Ottawa who worship in the High Church or Anglo Catholic tradition.

A Home in the City

We are a Parish community that, in the Anglican tradition, is popularly called High Church or Anglo Catholic. Worship is very much the centre of the life of our parish, and has ever been so. The Mass, or Holy Eucharist, is the hub of our worship life, around which all else revolves. It is the central act of Christian worship, deriving ultimately from the Last Supper that Jesus

shared with his disciples on the night before his Crucifixion. We are a diverse parish community of people from a wide range of backgrounds and experience: families and singles, young and old, newcomers and life-long members in the Anglican tradition. If you are looking for a welcoming community that is excited about discovering the grace and love of Jesus Christ in the midst of the world, please explore this site, and then come and experience what we are about.

STAIRWELL CAROLLERS SPRING 2026 - A FOR ALL TIME AND PLACE

Join us in an evening of beauty spanning the ages.

SACRED & PROFANE June 6, St. Barnabas Church, 70 James Street Ottawa. 7:30 PM. ONLINE
This diverse evening of religious and secular a ca****la songs includes contemporary pieces such as award winning “Eya, eya gaudeamus” - composed by our director, Pierre Massie - and an arrangement of “Jerusalem” by Terry Brynaert, bass. Frank Ticheli’s heart-wrenching “Earth Song” is a mere 15 years old and cries out for peace in a time of war. Contrast this with Rob Dietz’ 1999 “Hine ma tov”, a joyous refrain in Hebrew encouraging us to ‘behold, how good it is for people to dwell together in unity’. Hear Thomas Morley’s “I Love, Alas, I Love Thee” or “Margot labourez les vignes”. Finally, imagine the church imbued with our choir’s offering of Gabriel Faure’s “O Domine”.

We are preparing some extraordinary works to share for this, our 48th Spring Concert. Join us in joy, in celebration and reflection, as we bring to life music for all the times and places of mankind.

(FYI Profane is a French word meaning secular or non-religious.)
