Sacred renewal for St. Michael's chapels

Artist’s conceptual rendering of the Crypt Chapel of St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica.

The restored, glorious, award-winning sanctuary of St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica distracts a little from the unfin-ished business underneath and tucked in back. Though the construction scaffold-ing is gone and the earth movers are no longer parked outside, there’s still work to do on Toronto’s Catholic cathedral, said St. Michael’s Rector Fr. Michael Busch.
