St. Paul's Basilica, Historic Catholic church in Old Toronto, Canada
The Romanesque Revival structure features a tall Italianate bell tower and stained glass windows depicting religious figures and biblical scenes.
The first Catholic congregation between Kingston and Windsor established this church in 1822, serving Irish immigrants with a red brick Gothic building.
The basilica maintains Catholic traditions through regular masses, sacramental preparations, and community outreach programs for the local neighborhood.
Visitors can attend masses on Saturdays at 4:30 pm, Sundays at 8:30 am and 11:00 am, with confessions available every Saturday from 3:30 pm.
The north transept contains a stained glass window of St. Paul with a sword, dedicated to William Joseph O'Connor, a professional oarsman.
