Saint Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral
Dedicated in 1914, St. Josaphat's is the city's earliest Ukrainian Catholic Institution. It was founded by the immigrants from western Ukraine who came to Toronto in the early 1900s. Settling in the area around West Toronto Junction, they held their first divine liturgy in a house at Edith Avenue in 1909. Two years later they had established a parish, purchased land, and petitioned the bishop in Winnipeg for construction of St. Josaphat's. The Ukrainian Catholic Church, in communion with Rome, follows the Byzantine Ukrainian rite. Destroyed by fire and rebuilt in modern style in 1965, St. Josaphat's today serves as the cathedral for the Ukrainian Catholic Community in eastern Canada.
