History
Ogdensburg was dedicated to Our Lady from its very beginning, when in 1748 Father Francois Piquet established an Indian Fort that he named La Présentation at the juncture of the St. Lawrence and Oswegatcie Rivers. He celebrated the first solemn Mass on the site where Notre Dame Church now stands on the Feast of the Holy Trinity, June 1, 1749. The town that grew up around La Présentation became Ogdensburg, and the church was first incorporated as 'Notre Dame de la Victoire' in 1859. The first St. Mary's Chapel was dedicated in 1827. The two churches were canonically joined and incorporated as St. Mary's Cathedral Parish on July 1, 2017.
