St. Michael's Cemetery (Toronto)

St. Michael's Cemetery is a Catholic cemetery in Toronto, Canada. It is located just southwest of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue. The 10-acre (40,000 m2) cemetery is invisible from the street, being located in the middle of a city block and ringed by homes and stores. It is accessible only through a small alleyway between two stores on Yonge Street. The gates to the cemetery are normally locked, but are unlocked for visitors between 10am and 4pm on Statutory Holidays, or by arrangement with the Archdiocese of Toronto. History The city's oldest surviving Catholic cemetery, it opened in 1855. It replaced St. Paul's Cemetery at Queen and Parliament, which had been filled to capacity by the recent influx of Irish Catholic settlers. Some 29,000 people are buried at St. Michael's. It is the final resting place mostly for working-class Irish Canadians. St. Michael's remained the only Catholic cemetery in Toronto until 1900 when it was near capacity, and the Mount Hope Cemetery was opened. One of the most notable features of the cemetery is the octagonal mortuary vault designed by Joseph Sheard, who later became mayor of Toronto. Notable interments Some notable figures are interred there including brewer Eugene O'Keefe and Victoria Cross recipient Denis Dempsey. The cemetery contains the graves of seven Canadian servicemen of World War I, which are registered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. References Baglole, Joel.

Basilika St. Patrick (Ottawa)

Die Basilika St. Patrick (englisch St. Patrick’s Basilica) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Ottawa, der Hauptstadt Kanadas. Die Kirche im Erzbistum Ottawa-Cornwall ist Patrick von Irland gewidmet und hat den Rang einer Basilica minor. Geschichte Die Pfarrei wurde 1855 gegründet und sollte ursprünglich nicht nur den englischsprachigen Katholiken von Ottawa dienen, sondern auch denen der Stadt Hull (heute Teil von Gatineau) mit vielen Gläubigen irischer Abstammung. So wurde die Pfarrei St. Patrick, dem Schutzheiligen Irlands, geweiht. Die Planung für das heutige Kirchengebäude begann 1869 unter der Leitung des Architekten Augustus Laver. Im Jahr 1872 wurde der Grundstein von Bischof Guigues (dem ersten Bischof von Ottawa) gesegnet und dem ersten kanadischen Premierminister John A. Macdonald gelegt. Die Kirche wurde 1874/75 unter dem Architekten McCord Arnoldi weitgehend fertiggestellt und von Bischof Guigues Nachfolger Bischof Duhamel gesegnet. Am Saint Patrick’s Day 1995 wurde die Kirche durch Papst Johannes Paul II. in den Rang einer Basilica minor erhoben. Im Jahr 1998 wurde eine große Unterkirche mit einer Lourdesgrotte und Nebenräumen geschaffen. Architektur und Ausstattung Das Gebäude mit 1000 Sitzplätzen wurde aus Bruchstein im neugotischen Stil errichtet. Die Kirche verfügt über eine geschnitzte und schablonierte Decke. Sie ist ausgestattet mit Marmoraltären, Buntglasfenstern und Eichenbänken. Rechts vom Altar befindet sich eine schöne Replik von Murillos Himmelfahrt der Jungfrau Maria. Die Decke, die meisten Wandgemälde und einige der Buntglasfenster stammen von Guido Nincheri aus den 1920er und 1930er Jahren. Wesentliche Fenster stammen von Franz Mayer aus München. Die Kreuzwegstationen sind Flachreliefs von 1876. Am Haupteingang der Kirche befinden sich die Gedenkstätten aus dem Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg, in denen die Namen der Gemeindemitglieder verzeichnet sind, die in diesen Kriegen umgekommen sind. Den Gefallenen wurden Fenster gewidmet. Orgel Die erste Orgel von 1887 wurde von SR Warren & Son gebaut und 1898 durch Casavant Frères wesentlich auf drei Manuale und Pedal erweitert. 1930 erfolgte eine Restaurierung mit Anfügung von Glockenspiel und Tremulant hinzu.

St. Paul's Eastern United Church

St. Paul's-Eastern United Church is one of the oldest congregations in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The stone Romanesque church building is located in the heart of downtown Ottawa (Sandy Hill) on the corner of Daly and Cumberland Streets, near the University of Ottawa and two blocks east of the Rideau Centre. History The Romanesque Revival structure was built from 1888 to 1889 for St. Paul's Presbyterian Church by S.R. Badgley, architect. It originally had a large steeple. Unfortunately the church was built on sand, and the steeple side started sinking into the ground. The steeple was therefore removed early in the 20th century, leaving the building as a relatively squat stone structure. With the creation of the United Church of Canada in 1925, St. Paul's merged with the nearby Eastern Methodist Church and got its current name. In the late part of the 20th century the church struggled. The growing secularization of Canadian society and the smaller number of people living downtown meant that the church was rarely more than half full and the Sunday school had only a handful of children. More recently (2003–2021), the church had experienced a revitalization in activity, membership, finances and Sunday School involvement. Most of the new people coming to St. Paul's-Eastern were young families and young singles. St. Paul's-Eastern had a number of groups and partners who operate out of the church. They include: Jericho Road and Touch of Love. Other groups such as Girl Guides and Alcoholics Anonymous also operate out of the church. St. Paul's today The church closed in 2021 following the covid crisis and the congregation disbanded. By 2024, the building was temporarily used by the Église Unie St-Marc as its own church building had been unavailable with the demolition of its tower.

It is named after its patron saint, St. Robert Bellarmine. The extension added in January 1989 completed the school as it stands today. A $3.5 million indoor artificial turf soccer field adjacent to the main parking lot was completed in 2010. Between 2013 and 2016, Paul Paterson, then vice principal at St. Robert Catholic High School in Thornhill, Ontario, was accused of developing an inappropriate relationship with a male student. Allegations included that he allowed the student to stay overnight at his home, shared alcohol and marijuana with him, and slept in the same bed. Additional complaints from other students suggested similar boundary violations, including inappropriate comments and physical contact. Following a criminal investigation, Paterson was charged with sexual assault and related offences. In mid-October 2017, a court in Newmarket, Ontario, acquitted Paterson of all criminal charges, finding him not guilty of sexual misconduct. However, in a separate proceeding, the Ontario College of Teachers found him guilty of professional misconduct and revoked his teaching licence, also ordering him to pay a $5,000 penalty.

St. Teresa Roman Catholic Church (New Toronto)

St. Teresa Roman Catholic Church is in the former town of New Toronto in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario, Canada and a part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto. It serves the local Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School. History St. Teresa Church was formed out of St. Leo's, Mimico 1924 to serve the Town of New Toronto. The congregation worshipped in the Century Hall (on Sixth Street) until the old church on Tenth Street was finished the next year, 1925. The first pastor, Fr. Clancy who chose the dedication for the parish (St. Theresa), was succeeded by Fr. Carroll as the Second World War began in 1939, bringing in a period of many changes for the parish. Christ the King Roman Catholic Church, Long Branch was formed out of St. Theresa's in 1939 to serve the growing village (former sea side resort) to the west. With the end of the war, many Polish families began to move into the area from war-torn Europe, taking work at local industries; this led to the 1957 founding of St. Teresa Catholic Elementary School beside the church. After liturgical changes in the Latin Rite, a new, modernist style church was built on Eleventh Street in 1967; the old church was demolished. The local Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School, which serves all the southern Etobicoke parishes, recently moved from the Alderwood area into the nearby former Mimico Asylum grounds which is in St Teresa's Parish.
