The seventeen original and innovative studies reinterpret the social and institutional development of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Beginning with the arrival of Irish Catholic immigrants in the 1820s and concluding with the Archdiocese's burgeoning ethnic mosaic of the present day, this volume examines the evolution of lay confraternities, clerical formation and discipline, the life and contribution of women's religious orders, the Catholic response to conscription during World War I anf fascism during World War II, and the Catholic struggle for social justice amidst Toronto's rapid industrial growth. Throught, we witness the exciting interplay between the Archdiocese's Catholics and their increasingly secularized environment.
