 December 8^th at 5 pm at:

 Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, Archbishop Marcel Damphousse received the pallium from Pope Francis’s representative, the Apostolic Nuncio, the Most Reverend Ivan Jurkovič. 

We have been waiting for this important moment which recognizes the relationship of our suffragan dioceses of Pembroke, Timmins and Hearst-Moosonee to the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall and the connection of our archbishop to the apostolic ministry of his Holiness, Pope Francis.
