St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica

The Cathedral’s new Paschal candle is being hand-painted with a profound symbol at its heart, the mandorla. The almond-shaped form surrounds the young Christ, signifying the fullness of His divine and human nature, where heaven and earth meet as one.

Yesterday marked a meaningful moment in ShareLife’s 50th anniversary year. It was moving to hear ShareLife reflected at Mass at @StMikesCathTO. We are grateful to Fr. Kevin Adriano for highlighting our mission ahead of ShareLife Sunday and reaffirming the ways in which the Gospel continues to be lived out across our Catholic community.
