Saint Brigid's Church, Catholic church building in Lower Town, Ottawa, Canada
The limestone structure at 314 St. Patrick Street features Renaissance Baroque Revival details, Celtic-influenced gabled portals, and rounded arches throughout its design.
Built in 1890 as the first English Catholic church in Lower Town, Saint Brigid's Church served Irish immigrants who worked on the Rideau Canal construction.
The Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception operated educational programs through affiliated schools while the church basement housed the start of Shepherds of Good Hope.
The building now functions as an Irish cultural center with event spaces, an art gallery, and a public house called The Brigid's Well in the basement.
The interior contains iron columns, vaulted ceilings, and restored murals painted by artist Toussaint Xenophon Renaud during the church's early years.
