Saint Brigid's Church, Catholic church building in Lower Town, Ottawa, Canada

Saint Brigid's Church is a Romanesque Revival church at the corner of St Patrick and Cumberland Streets in Lower Town, Ottawa. Its main façade has three heavy round-headed portals and two towers of unequal height and detail; the taller eastern tower is capped with a stylized bishop's mitre. The interior is principally Gothic Revival with Irish Celtic themes. Since 2007 the building has housed Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts, an Irish-Canadian heritage centre.

Discussions to found a separate English-speaking parish began in March 1888, when Irish parishioners of Notre-Dame Cathedral felt sidelined as the French-Canadian share of the congregation grew. James R. Bowes designed the church at St Patrick and Cumberland Streets; construction started in 1889 and the completed church was blessed on 3 August 1890. Archbishop Marcel Gervais announced its closure in May 2006, and the building was sold in 2007 for 450,000 Canadian dollars.

The parish took its patron from Saint Brigid, and its athletics clubs, run alongside those of St. Patrick's Basilica, were known collectively as the "Saints" and played a friendly city-wide rivalry with the "Gunners" of the Upper Town militia. Altar boys made a yearly sleigh ride to Aylmer in Gatineau and back in a day, singing along the way. The building now houses an Irish-Canadian heritage centre with exhibitions, theatre and concerts.

The location is easily reached on foot along St. Patrick Street in downtown Ottawa with good accessibility for entering the building. It is best to check current hours beforehand, as the space now hosts multiple functions and availability may vary depending on scheduled events.

The parish's athletics teams, run jointly with St. Patrick's Basilica, were known as the "Saints" and played a friendly city-wide rivalry against the "Gunners" of the Upper Town militia. The parish also ran early outreach to downtown homeless people through Sister Eleanor Hennessy, a parish school teacher; that work grew into the Shepherds of Good Hope shelter.
