Basilika der Unbefleckten Empfängnis (Guelph)

Die Basilika der Unbefleckten Empfängnis (englisch Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate/ französisch: Basilique Notre-Dame-Immaculée de Guelph) ist eine neugotische Kirche in Guelph in der kanadischen Provinz Ontario. Die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche im Bistum Hamilton trägt die Titel einer Basilica minor und einer National Historic Site of Canada. Geschichte Den hochliegenden, zentralen Baugrund reservierte der Ortsgründer John Galt 1827 aus Wertschätzung für Bischof Alexander Macdonell für eine katholische Kirche. Die erste Holzkirche wurde 1835 errichtet und St. Patrick gewidmet. Bereits 1844 brannte sie aber ab. Der Bau der folgenden Bartholomäuskirche wurde unmittelbar begonnen und bereits 1846 fertiggestellt. Der Bau der heutigen, steinernen Kirche begann 1877. Sie wurde vom aus Irland stammenden Architekten Joseph Connolly nach Vorbild des Kölner Doms entworfen und aus lokalem Kalkstein errichtet. Sie gilt als die beste Arbeit von Connolly. Der Kirchenbau wurde 1888 fertiggestellt und Unserer Lieben Frau der Unbefleckten Empfängnis gewidmet. Die Doppeltürme, die eine Höhe von über 61 m erreichen, wurden erst am 13. November 1926 fertiggestellt. Die Kirche wurde 1990 zur Kulturdenkmal erklärt. Papst Franziskus erhob die Kirche am 8. Dezember 2014 in den Rang einer Basilica minor. Am 8. Dezember 2019 wurde die Krönung der Marienstatue offiziell verkündet, die am 1. Oktober 2022 stattfand. Architektur Die monumentale dreischiffige Basilika wurde auf dem Grundriss einer Kreuzkirche im viktorianisch-neugotischen Stil errichtet mit französisch-neugotischen Elementen. Das hochaufragende Deckengewölbe führen seitlich zu mit Stichkappen angeschlossenen Obergadenfenstern. Zwischen den beiden Kirchtürmen öffnet sich ein Rosettenfenster, über der Vierung erhebt sich ein Dachreiter. Die polygonale Apsis des Chors ist mit einem Kapellenkranz umgeben. Die Kirchenausstattung enthält Schnitzereien und Glasmalereien, die von erfahrenen Handwerkern ausgeführt wurden. Die Orgel wurde von Casavant Frères mit etwa 2400 Pfeifen auf der Empore um das Rosettenfenster installiert. Bei der Stadtplanung von Guelph werden die Blickachsen auf die und von der Basilika frei gehalten, auch die maximale Bauhöhe wird durch den Kirchenbau limitiert.

Kerk van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw (Guelph)

De Kerk van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Onbevlekt (Engels: Church of Our Lady Immaculate) is een rooms-katholiek kerkgebouw in de Canadese plaats Guelph, Ontario. Het neogotische gebouw werd ontworpen door Joseph Connolly en wordt beschouwd als het beste werk van de architect. De monumentale kerk werd tussen 1875 en 1883 gebouwd voor een congregatie die voornamelijk bestond uit Duitse migranten. Sinds 1990 prijkt de kerk op de lijst van National Historic Sites of Canada. Geschiedenis Voorgangers De Kerk van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw is de derde kerk op de plek, die hoog boven het straatniveau is gelegen. Het was de stichter van de stad, John Galt, die de prominente plek voor de eerste te bouwen kerk aanwees uit dank aan bisschop Alexander Macdonell voor diens hulp bij de oprichting van de ontwikkelingsmaatschappij Canada Company. Later werd ook een weg bij de heuvel op aangelegd die naar de bisschop werd vernoemd. De eerste kerk was een aan de Sint-Patricius gewijd houten gebouw, dat in 1835 op de heuvel werd gebouwd. Het was het eerste gebouw van Guelph waarvan zowel het in- als het exterieur beschilderd was. Deze kerk brandde geheel uit op 10 oktober 1844. Na de verwoesting van de Sint-Patriciuskerk begon de bouw aan de Sint-Bartholomeüskerk, die in 1846 werd voltooid. De huidige kerk De bouw aan de huidige kerk begon in 1877 door de Iers-Canadese architect Joseph Connolly, die veel kerken ontwierp in Ierland, Engeland en Ontario, waaronder de Sint-Petruskathedraal in London. Bij de bouw werd gebruikgemaakt van lokaal gedolven kalksteen. Het kerkgebouw wordt beschouwd als een van de beste werken van Connolly. Matthew Bell, een bekende beeldhouwer uit Guelph, was verantwoordelijk voor het beeldhouwwerk aan het exterieur en aan de pijlers van de kerk. Hij stierf in 1883 als gevolg van verwondingen opgelopen bij een val tijdens het werken aan het gebouw. In 1888, bijna twaalf jaar na het bouwbegin, werd de kerk gewijd aan Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Onbevlekt. De tweelingtorens reiken tot een hoogte van 61 meter en kwamen pas op 13 november 1926 gereed. Het kerkgebouw vertegenwoordigt een van de 122 parochies in het bisdom Hamilton en bevat circa 2.600 huishoudens in de congregatie. Een langverwachte restauratie van de kerk begon in april 2007. Na de voltooiing van de restauratie van het exterieur die naar schatting CAD 13.000.000 bedroeg, is in begin 2014 aangevangen met de renovatie van het interieur. De kosten worden geschat op CAD 6.500.000. De stad kent beschermende bepalingen voor de omgeving van de monumentale kerk. Om de zichtlijnen op de kerk vanuit diverse uitkijkpunten te behouden heeft de stad aanvullende regelgeving met betrekking tot de bouw van nieuwe gebouwen uitgevaardigd. Deze mogen het zicht op het kerkgebouw niet belemmeren en nieuwe gebouwen in Guelph mogen evenmin hoger zijn dan de kerk. Externe link (en) Website van de Kerk van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw (Guelph)
Church of St. Aidan (Toronto)

The Church of St. Aidan is an Anglican church in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The church has about 400 members, and approximately 100 people attend on any Sunday. The church's history begins with Pastor H. Dixon who set up a tent around 1880 to serve the residents of the small village in the area. When the streetcar stretched eastward and the area began to grow rapidly in the 1890s, the church remained housed in a tent, but one large enough to hold 500 people. A permanent church was finally established in 1907, and work on the church building was completed in 1908. [1][2] St. Aidan's has many pieces of liturgical art by the distinguished Canadian artist and late parishioner Doris McCarthy. [3] In 2006, the church became the centre of a controversy when the congregation under the Rev. Stephen Kirkegaard decided to participate in the Out of the Cold program to provide shelter to the homeless during the winter. The program takes place in various religious institutions across the city and helps provide extra space during the winter months when remaining outside can be deadly. St. Aidan's proposed providing beds for twelve people once a week. This sparked strenuous opposition from neighbours in the expensive Beaches area. Concerns about the homeless bringing crime and reducing property values in the neighbourhood prompted some local residents to try to get a court order to halt the program. Eventually, after a meeting was held to allay concerns, and critical publicity began to decry the objections, the program went ahead. In 2017, they plan to serve fifty for dinner, and host twenty-five homeless men and women for the night and breakfast.[4] See also List of Anglican churches in Toronto References Hall, Joseph.

Church of St. Jude (Wexford)

The Church of St. Jude is an historic church in the Scarborough area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. St. Jude's was originally built in what was the small rural village of Wexford, Ontario in 1848. The original church building survives today, being used as the cemetery chapel, making it one of the oldest surviving churches in Scarborough. The land for the church was donated to Bishop John Strachan and the Anglican Diocese of Toronto by Patrick and Ann Parkin. They had used this corner of their farm as a family cemetery. The church was built atop a small hill, so that it dominated the surrounding landscape. The still operational cemetery surrounds the church, and has graves dating back to 1832. Local farmers built the church with lumber milled from nearby trees. The Gothic Revival structure was designed by Reverend William Darling, the Anglican minister for Scarborough township. It is a replica in miniature of a church he remembered from his native Scotland. Keeping the proportions of the original while greatly shrinking the structure explains why the sacristy entrance is only five feet high. Darling's son, Frank Darling, would later become a prominent Toronto architect himself. The small church sat some 60 people, and for over a century it served the rural and sparsely populated farmers of the region. In 1950 there were 79 members of the church. The 1950s saw the rapid spread of residential subdivisions across the once rural Wexford as Scarborough became one of Toronto's main bedroom communities. By the mid 1950s the area was home to some 1,000 families, and the church was greatly overcrowded with many services required each Sunday. It was thus decided to build a new St. Jude's. The new church was completed in 1958, and sat 600 - almost 10 times the number of the original church. Since the completion of the new church, the small church has been temporarily rented by small congregations over the years including members of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Polish National Catholic Church, Russian Orthodox Church, and most recently, the Georgian Orthodox Church. It is also used as a chapel for weddings and other events by the St. Jude's congregation. Today, St. Jude's provides its primary weekly Sunday service at 10:30 AM, which is also streamed online via its Facebook page, using the Book of Alternative Services. Sunday mornings at 8:00 AM, there is a smaller service offered according to the rites of the Book of Common Prayer as used by the Anglican Church of Canada. The basement level of the church is rented out and used on Sundays by a congregation belonging to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and also throughout the week by other community groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous. St. Jude's also offers a food bank service to the community via its Deacon's Pantry outreach ministry, that operates on Wednesdays.

Church of the Holy Name, Toronto

The Church of the Holy Name in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is a historic church built during 1913 to 1926. The church was designed by architect Arthur W. Holmes to resemble the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. It is asserted to be "unchallenged as the Danforth's most impressive architectural landmark." The Church of the Holy Name is located on The Danforth, slightly west of Pape Avenue. Historically, Danforth Avenue started off as a sleepy byway, with large stretches of open fields. The dirt road became dusty in the summer and muddy during wet weather. Over time the Danforth streetscape evolved to consist of scattered houses, the occasional church, most notably Church of the Holy Name, and the occasional hotel. The Church of the Holy Name has remained an architectural landmark along Danforth Avenue. References External links Media related to Holy Name of Jesus Church (Toronto) at Wikimedia Commons
Church of the Messiah (Toronto)

The Church of the Messiah is an Anglican church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 240 Avenue Road, on the corner of Dupont Street. The church was founded on March 24, 1891, by members of the Church of the Redeemer further south on Avenue Road. The building was designed by Gordon & Helliwell, along with a rectory next door (which has not been owned by the church for many years). The church suffered a major fire in 1976 that gutted the building and destroyed the parish hall next door. The fire was determined to be arson by Toronto police and the perpetrator was convicted and jailed. The church was rebuilt preserving the original exterior appearance, however the interior was radically redesigned to maximize flexibility. As a result, the Church of The Messiah has a liturgical space that can be configured in several different ways. During the week the space is used for worship, community meetings, a food bank, a daycare, and rehearsal / performance space. Historically, the Church of the Messiah was a bastion of the low-church Anglicanism in Canada. Every Rector (or Incumbent) prior to the most current one was a graduate of Wycliffe College. Several of these were noted preachers and two went on to become Bishops. Currently, the church is known for a creative worship style, diverse congregation, food access programs for the neighbourhood (including the Avenue Road Food Bank). The Messiah was home to the Bell Tower Café (closed in 2019). The current Incumbent is the Rev'd Elivered Mulongo, Assistant Pastor is Rev. Canon John Hill, and Sarah John serves as Minister of Music. See also Christianity portal List of Anglican churches in Toronto References External links Official website
Church of the Redeemer (Toronto)

The Church of the Redeemer is an Anglican church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The small church is prominently located at the intersection of Bloor Street and Avenue Road, near the Royal Ontario Museum. The Gothic Revival style building opened on June 15, 1879. Overview Creation The church's creation was a result of the division of the old parish of St. Paul's on April 23, 1867, in order to accommodate a growing congregation. Prior to this, St. Paul's Church on Bloor Street had been the main parish church. Yonge Street was chosen as the dividing line between the old and new parishes, and the name redeemer was based on the metaphor of Christian redemption. The property for a new church building was purchased at the corner of Bloor and Avenue streets from a Mr. Alcorn for less than $10,000. The first corner stone of the church was laid in 1878 and the church opened for service on June 15, 1879. Recent history The church was granted heritage status by the City of Toronto in 1973. As with many other downtown churches, the Church of the Redeemer suffered from falling attendance in the late twentieth century. The church ran into severe financial difficulties and, in 1979, the parish voluntarily disestablished itself and was taken over by the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. The church lands and air rights were sold to developers and the massive Renaissance Plaza was built on them. With the money from this deal, the church was again solvent and regained its independence. The money also paid for much needed renovations. In 2000, the church launched a major renovation project as extra meeting space and offices were constructed under the building. The church is known for its progressive stance on social issues, especially gay rights. In 1998, the congregation published An Honourable Estate: Same Sex Unions and the Church, advocating the blessing of same-sex unions. Integrity Toronto worships in the church. The parish uses exclusively the Book of Alternative Services. The church is noted by passersby for its prominent sign, often featuring a quotation or thought for meditation. The church is also known to host a range of musical events and concerts. For example, Canadian group Great Lake Swimmers played two shows at the Church of the Redeemer on April 14, 2007. Architecture The church was built in a Gothic Revival style with a High Victorian interpretation. It was designed by architects Smith & Gemmell. The exterior is faced with stone and is distinguished by its pointed bell-gable. The High Victorian style is especially marked in the interior, which is in yellow and red brick. The bands of red brick are used for ornamental effect. Granite columns mark the transept, and prominent wooden brackets support the ceiling.

Церкви були продані забудовникам і на них був побудований масивний Центр Відродження Four Seasons . На гроші від цієї угоди церква знову була платоспроможною і відновила свою незалежність. Гроші також були сплачені на вкрай необхідний ремонт. У 2000 році церква розпочала масштабний проект реконструкції, оскільки під будівлею були збудовані додаткові приміщення для зустрічей та офіси. Церква відома своєю прогресивною позицією щодо соціальних питань, особливо прав геїв . У 1998 році конгрегація опублікувала «Почесне майно: одностатеві союзи та церква », пропагуючи благословення одностатевих союзів. Цілісність Торонто поклоняється в церкві. Парафія користується виключно Книгою альтернативних служб . Перехожі відзначають церкву своїм помітним знаком, на якому часто є цитата або думка для роздумів.
