Compassionate care is the core mission of Catholic Cemeteries

St. Michael’s Cemetery opened in 1855 and was the only non-parish Catholic burial ground in Toronto until 1900.

An essential obligation in the life of any diocese is to ensure the reverent care of its dead. For the Archdiocese of Toronto, the Irish potato famine and a local typhus epidemic forced it to accelerate its thinking on this important duty in the earliest days of its history.
