The St. John Henry Newman Church has been the centre of Catholic life at the University of Toronto for over 100 years, playing an integral role for students, professors, and surrounding community members. In St. John Henry Newman Church, author A. Silvio Baldassarra documents the church’s century-long history, exploring how theological changes physically affect the interior of the Gothic church, and how the theological changes are tested through the years.
