EOTC - St. Mary Cathedral, Toronto

Menbere Berhan Saint Mary Cathedral is an Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church located in Toronto, Canada.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Toronto was established in 1972 in collaboration with members of the Caribbean (mainly Jamaican) community in Toronto.  The congregation remained as a Mission until 1984, lacking a priest and a permanent place of worship.  In the same year, Rev. L.K. Messale Engeda came as a priest in charge of the newly established and growing congregation in the Greater Toronto Area.  In 1986, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Toronto ,with its 500 registered members, acquired a modest property located at 425 Vaughan Road.

However, due to the growing population of Ethiopian community in the Greater Toronto Area and its peculiar needs, a second Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in the name of Menbere Berhan Kidest Mariam (Saint Mary) was established in 1991.
