Churches & Cathedrals: Holy Name

    Holy Name was built around 1914 on the Danforth, the western extension of Bloor Street. Its an impressive Catholic church that you would think was transported directly from some Latin American capital, minus the colonial rot that ultra-humid weather causes. The masonry is beautiful and the contrast between the Holy Name Church and the surrounding low-rise buildings creates a nice setting for photographers. Take the subway to Broadview Station, then walk west on Danforth.

    It seems odd that the most impressive church in Greektown is Catholic, but you have to remember that the bulk of the Greek community arrived several decades after the building of Holy Name. Saint Irene is a small church located on a sidestreet (Gough Ave.) off of the Danforth, but it has some beautiful icons at the doors and inside the church as well. Unlike the small Orthodox church on College (Holy Trinity) there are numerous regular worshippers here, so if you'd like to visit the interior make sure you are respectful of those praying.

    Churches & Cathedrals: Bloor Street United Church

    The Bloor Street United Church is remarkable mainly because it is an old building among otherwise ugly modern structures that belong to the University of Toronto or are apartment buildings. The Church was built in 1890 as a Presbyterian church (in 1925 the Presbyterians merged with the Congregationalists and the Methodists to form the United Church). Its congregation was huge at times, and they had to rent concert halls for some services. Today the church is much more active in social justice causes. The Bloor Street United Church is located at the corner of Bloor and Huron Streets, between Spadina and St. George stations.

    Churches & Cathedrals: The Little Church of the Holy Trinity

    The Little Church of the Holy Trinity is the oldest church in Toronto being built in 1843. It is an Anglican church and is seldom open for the public to visit. I explored it during the Open Doors Toronto event and to be honest, the interior is very disappointed. It is completely whitewashed and over-restored. The view of the church from the outside is more interesting as it looks like a Victorian era oasis in a 21st century city. The church is located a 425 King Street East which is near Parliament Street. The website posted below is not very informative especially when you consider the historical significance of the church.
