Went here for East Sunday mass. A beautiful church and the senior boys choir was wonderful. Get there early for a seat!

My Mom's a die-hard Catholic so she loved the service & the old traditional decor & song. It's truly a beautiful church and worth staying for a service.

St. Michael's Cathedral is one of the most stunning churches in Toronto. The architecture is stunning. Instantly I felt peaceful as i entered the church. A wonderful experience.

Another church that shows the diverse architectural practices of yesterday. This is a stunning cathedral and if you hear of the St. Michael's Choir School performing there, make sure to attend. There is a peculiar warmth in this church and an odd Spiritual presence. It is truly beautiful. Big celebrations, i.e., Christmas, Easter, the church fills up with regular parishoners.

St. Michaels is so rich with history , you feel it the moment you enter the giant heavy doors and are greeted by the incredibly long aisle . The Stained Glass is truly art work and a feast for the eyes as well as the various relics and statues . Including bone that is embedded in the altar ! The... More

as an attraction but also a place to worship and spend some time with God/ I found it very peaceful and uplifting. I like the statues they have of Saints with relics which are a rarity in Toronto.

Cathedrals are the architectural manifestation of faith establishing a splendour that weathers the ages as a testimony to the faith they represent. St. Michael's splendour is complimented at Sunday morning Masses by the magnificent singing of the boys and young men of St. Michael's Choir School. An inspiration for both Catholic worshippers and non-Catholic observers.
