Cathedral of Christ the King is a Roman Catholic church in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. The Cathedral was consecrated on December 19, 1933. It is the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Hamilton, and the cathedral of the Diocese of Hamilton. The cathedral is the home of Bishop Anthony Tonnos, retired Auxiliary Bishop Matthew Ustrzycki, and Auxiliary Bishop Gerard Bergie. On the south side of the bell tower, is the cornerstone blessed by Bishop McNally, builder of the Cathedral. It is a stone excavated from the Roman Catacombs to symbolize the cathedral's unity with the ancient Christian church, the first generation after Christ. Christ the King Cathedral Masses are usually presided over by the parish rector, but occasionally, one of the bishops or guest priests will preside. The Cathedral is located atop a hill facing south. The South "King St." doors open up to a massive fine stone staircase leading down into the front parking lot. The pure gothic belltower containing a carillon of 23 bells, is 165 feet high and visible from a great distance. The largest bell called the Bourdon Bell, weighs 4 1/2 tons and was donated by Prime Minister of Canada, R. Bennett, a friend of Bishop
