St. Patrick's Church (Toronto)

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church on McCaul Street is the fifth oldest Roman Catholic church in Toronto. The parish was established in 1861 and had its own church in 1908. The Romanesque Church was built by A.W. Holmes.

St. Patrick's is the home of the Canadian National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

St. Patrick's Gregorian Schola

The first Gregorian schola in Toronto specializing in Gregorian chant in its proper liturgical context was established on October 28, 2006 at St. Patrick's Church for the Saturday 5:00 p.m. Holy Mass, under director, organist, pianist, and composer Surinder S. Mundra. The aim of the choir from its beginning is to promote through the chant, a deep love and reverence towards the Sacrifice of Holy Mass. In addition to serving their regular function as resident choir for the Saturday Masses, they have taken part in the regular Christmas Organ Fundraising concerts held yearly in the church.
