St. Maurice is a vibrant Catholic parish in the heart of our neighbourhood, just a few blocks from the Merivale commercial area in Ottawa. While many of our parishioners live nearby, others travel from across the city to be part of our community. We are richly diverse — multicultural, cross-generational, and blessed with many young families.
Led by our pastor, Fr. Ben St. Croix, CC, together with our associate pastor, Fr. John Likozar, CC, and our priest in residence, Fr. Allan MacDonald, CC — all priests of the Companions of the Cross — we seek to be a lighthouse in the darkness of our world. Our mission is simple and profound: to share the light and love of Jesus Christ and to help people encounter him personally.
There is no greater joy for us than bringing people to Jesus and witnessing them discover the fullness of life he offers to all who believe.
At St. Maurice, we embrace both the richness of our Catholic heritage and the call to proclaim the Gospel in fresh and compelling ways. We remain rooted in the Church’s sacred liturgy, sacraments, and teachings, while speaking the good news of Jesus in ways that resonate with our culture today.
Whether you are searching, returning, or already at home in the Church, you are welcome here.
