Archdiocese of Kingston (Ontario) [Est. Diocese, 1826; Archdiocese, 1889¹]

Chancery:

According to the online history of St. Mary's Cathedral, during the period from 1747 to 1758, Mass was celebrated "in a room in Fort Frontenac". After 1758, it was held in a private dwelling, then in the Anglican Church of St. George until the first Catholic parish church of St. Joseph's was established in 1808 in Kingston "...at the corner of what is now known as Bagot and William Streets..." By 1826, the Diocese of Kingston was formed to encompass the area west of the Ottawa River, and presently includes the area bounded by Carleton Place in the North, Picton to the South, Marmora to the West and Morrisburg to the East.
