St. Augustine’s Seminary was established in 1913 to train priests. The land on which the Seminary was built was originally that of farmer and Anglican Adna Pherrill (1816-1892). Its construction was funded entirely by Eugene O’Keefe, a wealthy Toronto brewer and philanthropist who died months before its completion.

Even without the birds (missed, of course), it looks so beautiful. Thanks, Miles!
Loved these pictures with the ice on the branches and berries!
