Cathedral of The Transfiguration

I have known about the Cathedral of the Transfiguration for at least a decade. I was in the…read moreneighbourhood and the three towers that comprise this cathedral stood out from Woodbine Avenue. I had to take a look. The area is known as Cathedraltown because, well, there's a large cathedral. I never have set foot in it. Originally built as a Catholic cathedral, it was closed from the mid-2000's onwards. There was some issue with getting a public occupancy permit. I still think that it remains closed for worship. Last night, I was fetching food from Cafe Mozaiko, which is on the same street. You get a beautiful look at this cathedral at the end of the street from any business on this stretch. There were plenty of cars parked in front of this cathedral after I had fetched my takeout. I frankly don't think that they were worshipers. Many folks with fancy sports cars like to gather around it. I'm not sure whether it's a nice hangout for folks to chat about cars and admire rims, or if they are praying that their insurance rates don't go up astronomically. It isn't an area where you can do some illegal street racing, unless Woodbine Avenue is considered the chosen course. It is bendy, but I have never seen any crazy racing on it whenever I'm on it. It's too residential for such a setup. They cathedral is beautiful to admire from afar. However, how often it's maintained remains a mystery. It may be slowly deteriorating externally. I didn't hear any bells ringing from it. It's sad to see such a beautiful cathedral sitting there and not being used for its intended original purpose. (41)

The building looks absolutely great from far. However, it seems to lack the maintenance and upkeep…read more Maybe the original contacting work was very bad. If you get a chance to go visit, you will notice the exterior steps are badly damaged, marble stone floors are all cracked and chipped badly. Weed growing in between steps and and cracks... Walking up closely, you would think it is an abandoned Cathedral.

There is also Mass, Sat's nights @ 6-7pm; hosting live Christian music w/ praise and songs, followed by educational spiritual teachings which deepens your encounter and relationship w/ The Lord :)

It's a very diverse church which I like because they do embrace all cultures and ethnicities here. The main pastor of this church will make you want to stay as he is able to give non - judgmental sermons that are applicable to your life. I've gone to churches where I always feel like I'm being condemned, but not here. They focus on you having a relationship with God rather than a religion. They have three services but I usually go on Saturday evenings where it's less crowded and more casual. Honestly even if you go to church on Sunday morning in your jeans or tracks, no one would say anything. I do love that they include their congregation in understanding the finances of the church and where donations are going, which I find can be a place of criticism of people against Christian churches and rightfully so. They've got great presentations for Easter and Christmas and that's how I started going. They've done great renovations recently too and I am happy with the positive direction they are continuously going in. I still do visit other churches but I find that I'm more connected here.

Is it odd to review a house of worship? Is it more odd to write a review since I'm not exactly "the…read morebest catholic" and my church attendance lately seems to be limited to Christmas, Easter and weddings? I think, maybe? At any rate, this review is less about the priests and the services and more about my long affiliation with this church. I was a member of this parish from around 1990 until sometime in my late teens, early 20s. The building was always beautiful and a younger more ADHD Kris U always had something to distract him between the intricacies in the ceiling, the beautiful upper balcony and the massive stain glass windows. Truly a beautiful and HUGE church and ahead of its time for the late 80s /90s. The main reason we came here for years was the services, the music and the amazing pastor (Father Bill). Father Bill (now retired) was the heart and soul of this parish, commonly including jokes and references to Toronto sports teams successes and failures in his homilies and during end announcements. There wasn't a mass you went where you didn't think "I wonder what he'll say this week?" Plus his dog walked down the aisle by his side each week and sat on the alter with him. So cool! And remember this was the 80s/90s, both dogs and jokes were super new for the church. I had my communion here, my sister was baptized here and the Christmas nativity scene each year was of all of Bethlehem, not just the manger. Lots of great memories here and that's why this church will forever be 5 star in my heart!
