Churches and Cathedrals in Ajax

"St. Patrick’s Church began as a mission from St. Michael’s, but it was given its own parish boundaries in 1861. The church was built in 1867 and was also designed by architect Arthur W. Holmes in the Romanesque Revival style. It is located in Toronto’s Chinatown and is known as the city’s fifth oldest Roman Catholic parish."

"St. Patrick’s Catholic Church started as a mission of St. Michael’s, but in 1861 it was granted its own parish boundaries. Since preaching a mission at St. Michael’s in 1880, the Redemptorists were asked to take over St. Patrick’s. This was done in 1881."

"Located in the heart of the Annex neighbourhood, the Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church became one after the two congregations, St. Paul’s Avenue Road United Church and Trinity United Church, joined together in 1887-89 to serve the community. The building was erected in 1889 and has since undergone several renovations, which have improved accessibility and acoustic sound."

"Fika” is a Swedish word that as a verb means “to go out for a coffee,” and as a noun means “coffee break.” So it’s an appropriate name for this Scandinavian-style coffee shop, located in a pretty blue house in Kensington Market. The airy interiors are appropriately Scandi-inspired, with whites and natural woods, plus a feature wall decorated with the pages of old books."

"Yeah, you might be in Toronto but once you step into Fika you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve landed in Scandinavia – it just feels so Swedish (if that makes sense). Fika is definitely up there as one of the spots with the best coffee in Toronto. Just make sure to try their white chocolate with lavender coffee (it’s sooooo good)."
