  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register –901 Lawrence Avenue West
    REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register – 901 Lawrence Avenue West Date: July 13, 2018 To: Toronto City Council From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 15 - Eglinton Lawrence SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property at 901 Lawrence Avenue West on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The property is located to the west of Dufferin Street on the south side of Lawrence Avenue West. The property contains the Columbus Centre, which is the focal point of a landscaped setting at the heart of a campus of properties all with strong associations to the Italian community since 1972. The property also contains the former St. Mary's Training School and grounds operated by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd from 1941-1973. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 901 Lawrence Avenue West meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City applies when considering properties for inclusion on its Heritage Register. The property at 901 Lawrence Avenue West has been the subject of a redevelopment application which would result in the demolition of the Columbus Centre. The inclusion of 901 Lawrence Avenue West on the City's Heritage Register would identify the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Inclusion on Heritage Register - 901 Lawrence Avenue West Page 1 of 37 RECOMMENDATIONS The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, recommends that: 1.

  • Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo - Scalabrinians
    In this first volume of the history of the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles – Scalabrinians that covers the period of 1895 – 1934, Sister Lice Maria Signor dedicates herself patiently in giving an attractive and documented form, the historical path of the MSCS Congregation and does it under diverse aspects: social, economic, political, cultural, ecclesial and religious. It is evidenced her determination in looking at the elements to construct our history and to show how the existence of the MSCS Sisters Congregation, is a historic/missionary path of evangelic service to the migrants, that become the incarnation of the words of Jesus Christ: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Mt. 25,35). “Seeds emigrate on the wings of the wind, plants emigrate from continent to continent, carried by the water currents, birds and animals emigrate, but more than all, man emigrates, now in a collective form, now in an isolated form but always an instrument of that Providence that presides over the destiny of humans and guides them, also by catastrophes, for the final goal, that of perfectioning man over the land and the glory of God in the heavens” (Scalabrini).

    MILAN AND THE LAKES TRAVEL GUIDE Made by dk. 04. November 2009 PERSONAL GUIDES POWERED BY traveldk.com 1 Top 10 Attractions Milan and the Lakes Travel Guide Leonardo’s Last Supper The Last Supper , Leonardo da Vinci’s 1495–7 masterpiece, is a touchstone of Renaissance painting. Since the day it was finished, art students have journeyed to Milan to view the work, which takes up a refectory wall in a Dominican convent next to the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The 20th-century writer Aldous Huxley called it “the saddest work of art in the world”: he was referring not to the impact of the scene – the moment when Christ tells his disciples “one of you will betray me” – but to the fresco’s state of deterioration. More on Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) Crucifixion on Opposite Wall Top 10 Features 9 Most people spend so much time gazing at the Last Groupings Supper that they never notice the 1495 fresco by Donato 1 Leonardo was at the time studying the effects of Montorfano on the opposite wall, still rich with colour sound and physical waves.

Venerable Brethren and Beloved Children, Health and Apostolic Benediction. Representative on earth of that divine Master who while embracing in the immensity of His love all mankind, even unworthy sinners, showed nevertheless a special tenderness and affection for children, and expressed Himself in those singularly touching words: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me,"[1] We also on every occasion have endeavored to show the predilection wholly paternal which We bear towards them, particularly by our assiduous care and timely instructions with reference to the Christian education of youth. 2. And so, in the spirit of the Divine Master, We have directed a helpful word, now of admonition, now of exhortation, now of direction, to youths and to their educators, to fathers and mothers, on various points of Christian education, with that solicitude which becomes the common Father of all the Faithful, with an insistence in season and out of season, demanded by our pastoral office and inculcated by the Apostle: "Be instant in season, out of season; reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine."[2] Such insistence is called for in these our times, when, alas, there is so great and deplorable an absence of clear and sound principles, even regarding problems the most fundamental. 3.

  • St. Charles Borromeo Charles Borromeo Was Born in October of 1538
    St. Charles Borromeo Charles Borromeo was born in October of 1538. These were turbulent times for the Church which was in the midst of perhaps her greatest crisis. Christendom was divided. The medieval church was breaking up. Despite open revolt, reform seemed difficult even to imagine.1 The popular preacher John Geiler of Strasburg would declare, "Since neither pope, nor emperor, kings nor bishops will reform our life, God will send a man for the purpose."2 Charles Borromeo was such a man and, while we should not assert that he (or anyone else) single handedly reformed the Church, he was a unifying principal and a driving force behind the reform of the 16th century. He would, by virtue of his zeal for reform and his ecclesial position, play a pivotal role in the Catholic Reformation.3 He is, with Pope St. Pius V, St. Philip Neri, and St. Ignatius Loyola, considered among the four outstanding men of the Catholic reform.4 St. Charles was a reformer in the true, Catholic sense. His whole life centered on the reform of his beloved Church. He seemed destined by God to fulfill this great work.5 Surely then the following pages must focus on that aspect of his life that so consumed him. While the format will be essentially a biography, the focus will necessarily be his historical role in the reform of the Church. Charles Borromeo was born of a noble family of Milan, the third of six children. In his parents we may see the precursors of his own piety and drive for reform.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO CARDINAL DIONIGI TETTAMANZI, ARCHBISHOP OF MILAN, ON THE OCCASION OF THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANONIZATION OF ST CHARLES BORROMEO LUMEN CARITATIS To my Venerable Brother Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi Archbishop of Milan Lumen caritatis. The light of charity of St Charles Borromeo has illumined the whole Church and, by renewing the miracles of the love of Christ, our Supreme and Eternal Pastor, has brought new life and new youthfulness to God’s flock, which was going through sorrowful and difficult times. For this reason I join with all my heart in the joy of the Ambrogian Archdiocese in commemorating the fourth centenary of the Canonization of this great Pastor on 1 November 1610. 1. The time in which Charles Borromeo lived was very delicate for Christianity. In it the Archbishop of Milan gave a splendid example of what it means to work for the reform of the Church. There were many disorders to sanction, many errors to correct and many structures to renew; yet St Charles strove for a profound reform of the Church, starting with his own life. It was in himself, in fact, that the young Borromeo promoted the first and most radical work of renewal. His career had begun promisingly in accordance with the canons of that time: for the younger son of the noble family Borromeo, a future of prosperity and success lay in store, an ecclesiastical life full of honours but without any ministerial responsibilities; he also had the possibility of assuming the direction of the family after the unexpected death of his brother Federico.
