Latin Mass at Midnight - SSPX at the Cathedral of the Transfiguration

The Society of St. Pius X has, for the last number of months, been able to use the Cathedral of the Transfiguration in Markham, northwest of Toronto, for Mass. The Byzantine-Slovaks abandoned the building years ago over a dispute with the builder and landowner. Free is not good enough for some.

As the usual chapel is small and booked, I have been asked to advise that there will be room at Markham.

There will be carols at 11:30 and Sung Mass at Midnight.

Notwithstanding Rome, there are others at Midnight and Christmas Day, however, given government diktats, promotion of them is not possible due to the need to "book" a seat. 

May Our Lord free us from this tyranny.  Come, Lord Jesus. Come.

Apologies if my comment is somewhat off topic. For it to be a cathedral it must be the seat of a bishop yes? Which bishop has his seat there?

I think it *was* an Byzantine-Slovak Bishop. So the building was born a cathedra. Once a Cathedral?
