About this Cathedral Church

This building, our music, our liturgies — the sacraments, the sermons — are all here to help everyone who comes through the doors to see and feel and know the One God who is — of course — everywhere and at all times God-With-Us: Emmanuel, God who is over all, and through all, and in all.

Territorial Acknowledgement

Christ Church Cathedral is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), at a place called Tio’tia:ke (Montreal), a meeting place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation Confederacy), Anishinabeg and Algonquin peoples.

We recognize and respect the Kanien’keha:ka as the traditional stewards of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke.

Our acknowledgement stands as a promise to continue the ongoing work of recognition and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
