Title of Piece: Exterior view of St. Gabriel
Date of Creation: 2007
Location: St. Gabriel in Toronto, Canada
Brief Description: St. Gabriel Parish was established in 1951 in an area of Toronto called North York. The Passionists had a small residence in North York on Bayview Avenue and hoped to build a retreat center there in close proximity to a Cenacle retreat center. However, Cardinal James McGuigan refused our request as he envisioned the city of Toronto growing toward the north. He wanted to establish parishes in that area to serve the Catholic population as the city expanded, so the Passionists, the Conventual Franciscans and the Scalibrinis built parishes in what were then the suburbs. In 1951, our parish area included what now encompass 5 other parishes: St. Timothy, Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity, St. Barnabas and St. Aiden. Presently, St. Gabriel's serves 1900 families, has a Catholic school and is responsible for the 450-bed North York General Hospital just down Sheppard Avenue from the church. The original St. Gabriel's was built with an eye to the future, and the new St. Gabriel's follows that same tradition. The parish church and facilities are solar heated and have underground parking. The latest technology was used to make the church environmentally friendly and energy efficient. The new church seats 750 people and has abundant light and a large gathering space.
