St Michaels Cathedral Toronto, Ontario, Canada St Michaels Cathedral, Bond and Shuter Streets. ST. MICHAEL'S CATHEDRALThe cornerstone of St. Michaels Cathedral was laid My 8, 1845, by the Most Reverend Michael Power, first Catholic Bishop of Toronto. Designed by WIlliam Thomas, the building is an adaptation of the 14th century English Gothic style. It was consecrated on September 29, 1848. Though the transepts remain unfinished, St Michael's adheres to the ancient cruciform shape of religious structures. The interior of the cathedral has undergone a number of transformations. The great chancel window, installed in 1858, was executed by Etienne Thevenot, a gifted French artist and was donated by Bishop de Charbonnel. Construction of the tower and spire began in 1867. St Michael's is the principal church of Canada's largest English-speaking Cathilic archdiocese. Erected by the Archeological and Historic Sites Board, Archives of Ontario Other pictures like this one can be found at Toronto Churches 2. |
