Churches and Cathedrals in Richmond Hill

"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.
