Toronto mourns Cardinal Ambrozic today at St. Michael’s Cathedral

Lost in the public memorial for Jack Layton this weekend was the news that retired Toronto archbishop Aloysius Cardinal Ambrozic passed away on Friday. The cardinal’s funeral is today, and dignitaries and church officials are gathering at St. Michael’s Cathedral downtown to mourn his passing. The cardinal’s story is one that many Torontonians can relate to: leaving a war-torn region (in Ambrozic’s case, Slovenia) to build a life in the largest and most diverse city in Canada. Because of renovations at St. Michael’s, there’s limited space, but the service can be seen live on CP24’s online stream. See the live video stream [CP24]»
