Occasional Toronto: St Mary's

St Mary's

This is St Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church - Residence, found near Bloor St and Ossington Ave. I could find no information about the church and have no idea what the "residence" means but I do love the structure with all those copper-coverd domes and crosses. There was a cornerstone saying that it was constructed in 1964. I took the pic this week when we had snow and will show a close-up of the mosaic tomorrow.
Taking part in Inspired Sunday. Click here for more religious buildings.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate it!
