The Venerable Kathryn Otley has been elected the 11th Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa following a vote at an Electoral Synod held on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Christ Church Cathedral.

Bishop-Elect Kathryn Otley has most recently served as Incumbent at All Saints Westboro. Ordained to the priesthood in 2006, she has served in parish and diocesan leadership roles and is recognized within the diocese, province, and national church for her commitment to pastoral care, congregational vitality, collaborative leadership, and social justice.

Throughout her ministry, she has emphasized building strong parish communities, fostering inclusion, and strengthening relationships across diverse congregations. With a passion for learning and teaching, she has been a sessional lecturer, mentored clergy and lay leaders, and been a presenter at both Ottawa and Toronto Forums on Homelessness.

Bishop-Elect Kathryn Otley will be consecrated and formally installed as Bishop of Ottawa on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Christ Church Cathedral. The service will gather clergy and lay representatives from across the Diocese, together with ecumenical partners, civic leaders, and guests from across Canada.

We give thanks for the faithful participation of all who were part of this discernment process and invite the Diocese to hold Bishop-Elect Kathryn Otley and her family in prayer as she prepares to undertake this new ministry among us.
