St. John's Norway Cemetery

St. John's Norway Cemetery and Crematorium is a historic cemetery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at the intersection of Kingston Road and Woodbine Avenue in the east end of the city just northwest of The Beaches neighbourhood. History The cemetery was founded adjacent to St. John the Baptist Norway Anglican Church in 1853. Despite the use of the name "Norway", neither the church nor the cemetery has any connection to the country of Norway or to Norwegian immigrants to Canada; both were established to serve the small community of Norway, Ontario, then a considerable distance from the city of Toronto. The town itself was named after the Norway pine trees native to the area, and was amalgamated into Toronto in 1908. The land for the cemetery was donated by landowner Charles Coxwell Small. Originally three acres, the cemetery now covers about 35. Over the decades there have been almost 80,000 interments, and over 50,000 gravestones now stand in the cemetery. While attached to an Anglican church, the cemetery is non-denominational. The cemetery is perched on a large sandy hill which was once one of the large dunes formed by Glacial Lake Iroquois. The sand from this hill was used extensively by the Toronto brickworks, and is thus found in many of the city's older buildings. Notable interments The cemetery was never a site for the burial of the city's elite, with Mount Pleasant Cemetery being the standard resting place for those of prominence. The vast majority of those buried there are representatives of the middle and working class of east end Toronto. There are some prominent figures buried at St. John's, such as R. C. Harris, Toronto director of public works who built the nearby R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, was interred there in 1945 and architect Frank Darling. Canadian athlete and sports journalist Ted Reeve as well as horsebreeder, William H. Bringloe and writer, Norah M. Holland. The cemetery contains the war graves of 196 Commonwealth service personnel of both World Wars. Monuments At the rear of the cemetery there is a cenotaph honouring veterans of D-Day. Cinema The picturesque cemetery close to the studio district has also become a popular one for filming. The church has also turned to this to get much needed revenue to help maintain the site. Among the movies in which the cemetery appears are To Die For, Angel Eyes, Four Brothers, and Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

St. John's College (Brantford)

St. John's College (SJC) is a Roman Catholic high school located in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. History Origins In 1941, Brantford Catholic High School opened in the basement of St. Ann's Elementary School with just one Grade 9 class. A new class was added each year until 1951 when the school moved to Dufferin Avenue. From 1951 to 1978, the priests of the Congregation of the Resurrection acted as the principals. In 1959, the school's name changed to St. John's College. Providence College Providence College was a girls' school opened in 1961 by the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul on the site of St. Bernard's Elementary School, which has since been absorbed into St. Pius and moved to a brand new campus. At that time, it was a grades 9-12 school and girls wanting to attend university would transfer to St. John's College for grade 13. It was decided that St. John's College would absorb Providence College and move to the latter's newer Paris Road campus. The merger was finalised by the 1970-71 academic year. Growth and expansion (1980s to present day) In the 1980s, the student population grew to the extent that Dufferin Avenue campus was reopened to accommodate the surge in student numbers and the school operated as a dual-site campus for a period of time. A new cafeteria, triple gym, teacher lounge, and 13 classrooms were constructed with help from community fundraising. In 1989, more additions were made with the addition of the current main entrance, 9 classrooms, administrative offices, the 'cafetorium', health center and guidance center. In 1991, enrolment exceeded 1700 students. This necessitated the opening of Assumption College in September 1992, as well as Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Simcoe, Ontario in 2001. Curriculum The school offers mainstream Ontario Secondary School Diploma subjects. Several Advanced Placement subjects are offered. Alongside their academics, students have the option to gain practical work experience through apprenticeships and internships under the auspices of the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board. The BHNCDSB runs a Ministry-approved co-op program and participates in the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP). Athletics The school's sports teams compete as the Green Eagles and are members of the District 5/9 (AABHN) in the Central Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association. Sports offered include basketball, soccer, cheerleading, rugby, volleyball, football, baseball, softball, track and field, golf, wrestling, badminton, curling, fly fishing and tennis. The 2009 senior girls' basketball team captured the AAAA OFSAA gold medal on November 28, 2009. The Eagles finished the season with a perfect 45-0 record.

St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine

St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine is a prominent Ukrainian Catholic church in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. History The only Ukrainian Catholic parish in the Ottawa region, the St. John the Baptist parish first formed in 1914. After meeting in other parishes' churches for some years, in 1918 the parish purchased a building to the west of downtown and converted it into a church. The congregation of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church erected a memorial scroll which is dedicated to the memory of the members of this Parish who served during the Second World War. In 1966 it moved into a temporary building on Carling Avenue. It was planned to build a permanent church on that site, but the location proved too small. The current church was built in 1987. It is located near the intersection of Baseline Road and Prince of Wales Drive, overlooking the Rideau Canal and Carleton University. The ornate structure in Konstantin Thon's Neo-Byzantine style, was in part built to celebrate the millennium of the Baptism of Kiev . The artworks (icons and stained glass windows) within were done by five artists from Ukraine. Despite being only a parish church, due to its national status it was granted the title of Sobor. The church is owned and operated by the Basilians. External links Official site Touring Ukrainian Ottawa References

Український католицький собор Святого Івана Хрестителя

Український католицький собор Святого Івана Хрестителя — це українська католицька церква в Оттаві, Онтаріо, Канада . Історія Єдина українська католицька парафія на території Оттави. Парафія Святого Івана Хрестителя вперше утворена в 1914 році. Після зустрічей у церквах інших парафій у 1918 році парафія придбала будівлю в західній частині міста та перетворила її на церкву. Збори Української католицької церкви святого Іоанна Хрестителя зробили меморіальний сувій, на пам'ять про мирян цієї парафії, які служили під час Другої світової війни. 1966 року церква тимчасово була переміщена у будівлю на проспекті Карлінг. Спочатку тут планували побудувати постійну церкву, але місце розташування виявилося занадто малим. Сучасну церкву побудували в 1987 році. Вона розташована біля перехрестя головної дороги з вулицею Принца Уельського з видом на канал Рідо та Карлтонський університет. Архітектура та інтер'єр Будівля була зроблена в неовізантійському стилі Костянтина Тона. Але вона частково добудовувалася на честь святкування тисячоліття хрещення Русі. Картини (ікони та вітражі) були зроблені п'ятьма художниками з України. Попри те, що церква була лише парафіяльною, через національний статус їй було присвоєно титул Собор. Церква належить і управляється василіянами. Галерея Примітки Джерела Офіційний сайт [Архівовано 11 серпня 2020 у Wayback Machine.]

St. Leo's Roman Catholic Church (Mimico)

St. Leo's Roman Catholic Church is a Catholic church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on Royal York Road (formerly Church Street) at Stanley, in the Mimico neighbourhood, part of Etobicoke. It is the oldest Catholic church in Etobicoke and the only Catholic church in Mimico. History The first services were held at Eden Court one of only three remaining Victorian Houses on Royal York with St. Leo's Rectory, the building has been declared a historic building. The original church opened as a mission of Holy Family in 1903 at 258 Royal York Road (then Church Street). In 1909 St. Leo's became a parish serving Swansea south of the College St extension (now Morningside Ave) and Mimico with its original boundaries: Lake Ontario, the Humber River, North Queen St (now Delroy Dr) and Mimico Ave (now Kipling Ave). In 1920 the former western portion of Mimico became the Town of New Toronto, leading in 1924 to the building of St. Teresa's Catholic Church and the separation of this area from St. Leo's. In 1926 the parish built St. Leo Elementary School across from the church. St. Leo Elementary School is the oldest Separate School in Etobicoke still open. With postwar Italian immigration to the northern half of Mimico, in 1947 the Mimico Separate School Board opened a second Catholic school for the parish north of the QEW; St. Louis Elementary School. A new church was built across the street from the old at 277 Royal York Road in 1953 on the site of Mimico's 1858 post office. In 1955 St. Mark's Catholic Church was built in Humber Bay neighbourhood and in 1961 Holy Angels was built for The Queensway neighbourhood, the area having been cut off from Mimico by the building of the Queen Elizabeth Way. After liturgical changes in the Latin Rite led to the use of the vernacular (English) in place of Latin, St. Leo's began providing a separate liturgy for Italian parishioners. In 1960 a Parish Hall was built on the site of the Old Church. In 1967 Mimico was amalgamated with Etobicoke. After full funding for Catholic Schools was introduced, the Public Board of Education offered the old Mimico High School to the Separate (Catholic) School Board which declined on the grounds that demographics changes in Etobicoke meant Mimico was no longer centrally located.

St. Luke's United Church

Saint Luke's United Church is located at 353 Sherbourne Street (on the southeast corner of Carlton and Sherbourne Streets) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Originally built across the street from the old site of Toronto General Hospital, it is now across from Allan Gardens. The building was originally home to Sherbourne Street Methodist Church, later Sherbourne United. It merged with Carlton Street United in 1959 to create St. Luke's. Sherbourne was founded in 1872, while Carlton originated in 1832. History The church was built in 1887 as the Sherbourne Street Methodist Church by Toronto architects Langley & Burke, who used a Richardsonian Romanesque style. The church was built with a sanctuary that seats 800 and was called “the millionaires’ church” because its congregation was drawn from Toronto's most prestigious neighbourhood. The Church's attendance declined after its merger into the United Church of Canada in the 1920s, reaching approximately 200 in 2022. Community use The church building houses many different types of rooms to accommodate various activities, including: the main sanctuary, a chapel, a gymnasium, two kitchens, a few administrative offices, some meeting rooms, and a formal parlor. As a result of this diversity of space, the church has become a community center that hosts functions for the general public. Concerts are held in the church from time to time, and several musical groups use the building as a space for practice. Dance groups and theater troupes are also tenants of the building. Some non-profit organizations including: Alcoholics Anonymous, abuse prevention programs, continuing education programs and food banks use the church's meeting and kitchen spaces to benefit the community. Several sports groups including a fencing club, and martial arts group train in the gymnasium on a regular basis. The church also displays pride flags and is open to all; it even hosts a dance group geared toward the gay community. As of May 2022, the church was being renovated as part of the United Church's Kindred Works project to renovate underused churches to provide community housing. KPMB Architects, the lead designers on the project, plans to keep the original building from 1887, but largely demolish later additions to make room for a 12-story building with 100 units. Congregations The main sanctuary and chapel currently are host to seven different worship groups, six of which are culturally different Christian denominations, and the other being a Buddhist meditation circle. St. Luke's has actually hosted up to nine different congregations simultaneously in the past. In addition to the United Church of Canada, other congregations that use the building include the Berea Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Sheep Flock Korean Presbyterian Church, and several other congregations and community groups.

Объединённая церковь Святого Луки

Объединённая церковь Святого Луки (англ. Saint Luke's United Church) — церковное здание в Торонто, провинция Онтарио, Канада, расположена по адресу: улица Шербурн, дом 353 (на юго-восточном углу улиц Карлтон и Шербурн). История Церковь была построена в 1887 году как методистская церковь на Шербурн-стрит архитекторами из Торонто Лэнгли и Берком, которые использовали романский стиль Ричардсона с алтарем на 800 мест и получила прозвище «церковь миллионеров» (англ. the millionaires’ church), поскольку её прихожане были выходцами из престижного района Торонто. Посещаемость церкви снизилась после её слияния с Объединённой церковью Канады в 1920-х годах, достигнув приблизительно 200 человек в 2022 году. Первоначально построена через дорогу от старого здания больницы общего профиля в Торонто, а ныне находится напротив сада Аллана. Первоначально в здании располагалась методистская церковь Шербурн-стрит, позднее — Шербурнская объединённая церковь. В 1959 году произошло слияние с Carlton Street United, в результате чего образовалась больница St. Luke’s. Шербурн был основан в 1872 году, а Карлтон — в 1832 году. Общественное использование Помещения внутри церкви: главное святилище, часовня, спортзал, две кухни, несколько административных кабинетов, несколько конференц-залов и официальная гостиная. Время от времени в церкви проводятся концерты, а несколько музыкальных групп используют здание в качестве площадки для репетиций. Арендаторами здания также являются танцевальные коллективы и театральные труппы. Некоторые некоммерческие организации, в том числе: «Анонимные Алкоголики» (англ. Alcoholics Anonymous), программы профилактики злоупотреблений, программы непрерывного образования и продовольственные банки используют помещения для собраний и кухни церкви на благо общества. В спортзале тренируются несколько спортивных секций, в том числе клуб фехтования и группа боевых искусств. В церкви выступает танцевальная группа, ориентированная на гей-сообщество. По состоянию на май 2022 года церковь ремонтировалась в рамках проекта Kindred Works Объединённой церкви Канады по восстановлению недоиспользуемых церквей для обеспечения общинного жилья. Компания KPMB Architects, главные проектировщики проекта, планирует сохранить оригинальное здание 1887 года постройки, но большую часть более поздних пристроек снести, чтобы освободить место для 12-этажного здания на 100 квартир. Конгрегации В настоящее время в главном святилище и часовне размещаются семь различных групп верующих, шесть из которых представляют различные христианские конфессии, а третья представляет собой буддийский кружок медитации. В прошлом в церкви одновременно собиралось до девяти различных общин. Помимо Объединённой церкви Канады, здание используют и другие общины, в том числе Церковь адвентистов седьмого дня, Корейская пресвитерианская церковь, и несколько других общин и общественных групп.
