 church, Roman Catholic church
The Cathedral of the Transfiguration is a Slovak Byzantine Rite Roman Catholic cathedral located in Markham, Ontario. The Cathedral was conceived and funded by Stephen B. Roman, a Slovak immigrant to Canada who had built up the Denison Mines corporation.
Work began on the Cathedral in 1984. That year it became the first church in North America to be consecrated by a Pope, when John Paul II blessed the cornerstone during his trip to Canada. Construction took several years, and ran significantly over the original budget.
Among its features is the world's largest three bell carillon.
