St. Michael's Cathedral
On May 8, 1845, Bishop Power laid the cathedral's cornerstone, and dedicated his cathedral and city to St. Michael. In the cornerstone, some fragments of a stone pillar of the old Norman York Minster Cathedral in England and some small pieces of the oak roof of that same cathedral were sealed. St. Michael's is a 19th century interpretation of the Minster's 14th century English Gothic style. The connection with York Minster is appropriate, since Toronto's English name had been York.
