Serra House getting $10-million facelift to serve prospective seminarians

By Joshua Santos, The Catholic Register

December 1, 2019

One of the more encouraging signs for the Catholic Church in Canada may have been Cardinal Thomas Collins planting his foot on top of a shovel in the backyard of an old house on Toronto’s St. George Street in early November.

The occasion was the official groundbreaking for a new four-storey addition to Serra House, a residence of discernment for men interested in the priesthood. The project, estimated to cost $10 million, doubles the size of the home with an extra 8,000 square feet to increase capacity to 26 prospective seminarians. It’s expected to be completed by spring of 2021.

This is the building in question at 226 St George, ⅔ of the way north from Lowther to Bernard on the west side of the street:

Walked by last night. The site is still surrounded by construction barriers. The new structure is coming along and looks substantially in place. But there's still various components that don't appear fully completed yet.
