Book a bus

Spiritual trips are a fulfilling way to enjoy some of Toronto’s essential group destinations while deepening your faith with members of your community. Those who plan spiritual trips know that they take a lot of organization and effort. A charter bus rental allows you to focus on the parts of the trip that matter: community building, spiritual activities, participants. Toronto has many spiritual locations that might interest your group — wouldn’t it be nice to lead icebreakers or prayer from a charter bus rather than splinter your group into a caravan and carpool?

Famous spiritual landmarks in Toronto

Toronto is home to an array of spiritual landmarks that reflect the city’s cultural diversity and rich heritage. From historic churches and grand cathedrals to intricately designed temples, these sacred sites offer a space for worship, community, and exploration, inviting visitors to experience their unique architecture, traditions, and tranquility.

Trinity-St. Paul

Trinity-St. Paul has a rich history and today is home to a United Church of Canada congregation. The church is located at 427 Bloor St. West, in the heart of downtown Toronto. It’s comprised of three congregations that combined over the years. Edmund Burke designed the original building for Trinity Methodist Church in a Revived Romanesque style. It was completed in 1889. Church union in 1925 brought it into the UCC and in 1980, they merged with St. Paul’s-Avenue Road (founded in 1887). Today, its official name is the Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre for Faith, Justice, and the Arts. It houses sixty different “cultural, educational, religious, recreational, community and social service groups.” The facility offers affordable and flexible spaces for rent and the congregation holds weekly worship services on Sundays.

St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica

St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica (Roman Catholic) is one of the oldest churches in Toronto. It’s located at 65 Bond Street in Garden District, a busy part of downtown Toronto. William Thomas designed the church in English Gothic Revival style. Construction began in 1845 and the diocese dedicated and consecrated the church three years later, in 1848. One of its main attraction is its seventy-nine meter bell tower. Another is the three stained-glass windows, which are all handblown stained glass.  The building has had two renovations (1865-1867 and in 1890). Recently, the facility was closed for restoration from part of 2015 through part of 2016. The cathedral still functions as a parish, with regular Mass and other services.

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir

The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is located in Etobicoke, on 61 Claireville Dr. It is a Hindu temple within the Swaminarayan branch of Hindusim. It is the largest of its kind in Canada and has over 18 acres of property. Visiting hours are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The BAPS has two main components: the maunder and the haveli. The mandir took 18 months to construct. It’s made entirely from stone and marble with no steel or reinforcing materials located inside. The Haveli is a cultural center and features traditional Indian architecture with intricate hand-carved Buremese teak. BAPS has extensive clothing guidelines you should check out if you’re considering a visit. There is free parking and all guests must remove shoes before they enter. Donations are optional and entrance is free. The location serves as a place of worship for the Hindu community.

Cham Shan Buddhist Temple

Cham Shan Buddhist Temple was founded in 1973 by one of the earliest Buddhist organizations in Toronto. The temple features traditional Chinese architecture and has expanded over the years. Today, there are four acres to the property. The temple is open from 9-5; entry and tours are free, with an option for donation. Visitors leave their shoes outside before entering the temple, as a sign of respect. The current abbott is Venerable Dayi Shi. The temple is currently developing the Four Great Sacred Buddhist Gardens in Canada (which spans 1300 acres, in total). For those who are interested in learning more about Buddhism, the temple hosts dharma talks, meditations, chanting, and repentance services.

Types of spiritual trips in Toronto

Missions

Mission trips are very common church group trips. Are you looking for a way to serve the communities around you? Often people think of mission groups involving distant countries. But if you stop to think about it, the communities that are closer to us are also often in deep need. Your mission trip might decide to serve at a local soup kitchen or a food bank. Other common locations to consider: nursing homes, daycares, and after-school programs.

Sunday School

Sunday School groups are generally filled with young children which can make for a boisterous time. A day trip can allow you to hone in on specific teachings you’ve been covering in class or to explore an important landmark or type of building (such as a monastery, temple, basilica).  Most Sunday school groups consist of children and chaperones. When you’re all in one vehicle, it’s much simpler to ensure that nobody is left behind or has wandered off alone. A Sunday School trip can also mark special occasions, such as participation in stations of the cross or other devotional prayer.

Clergy

When the majority of your time is in service of others, it’s important to remember to take time out of your schedule to connect with your peers and to recharge. Groups of clergy, whether you’re talking about religious communities or about colleagues who work together, can find it useful to take educational trips or to take retreats and pilgrimages together. Sharing time with those who understand your unique ministry challenges allows you to return to your congregations refreshed and renewed.

Retreats

When you need time to recharge, retreats can present a much-needed respite from the day to day challenges that face us all. The opportunity to reflect on our lives, to break bread with others, to gather in prayer, is one that nourishes and rejuvenates. Retreats can occur in centers or in holy places and spiritual locations offer an anchor to the retreat time. When you retreat with a group, you get the benefit of connection with others while also having solo time in prayer and reflection. Traveling on a bus to a retreat location presents time for both individual or communal prayer.
