The Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King is a Roman Catholic church in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

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.

The cathedral is perched atop a hill overlooking Highway 403 leading in towards the rest of Hamilton and one travelling towards Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto.

The southern "King Street" doors open up to a massive fine stone staircase leading down into the front parking lot.

At night, the cathedral is illuminated by flood lights and creates an imposing sight, especially from the Hamilton escarpment.

There was damage done to the cork tile floor, the main pulpit, a stained glass window, the confessionals and side entrance to the cathedral.

Extensive renovations were made to repair and update the church, which now has a new second marble altar cut from the original and various woodwork additions.

The stained glass window depicting Mary Magadalene washing the feet of Jesus was rebuilt by F. Meyer, who came out of retirement at the age of 85.

One stained glass window was completely rebuilt by the original craftsman, F. Meyer of Munich, Germany.

It also has seating for over 1000 parishioners in the nave and 200 in the sanctuary area, with television flat screens installed on the side Indiana limestone columns for blind spots.

The left side altar with its magnificent large painting of Christ's entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, contains the holy oils in three gold urns.

The right side altar contains a massive painting of the Nativity Scene and a mosaic of the Eastern Catholic Churches: Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

A large 88 ton marble ciborium, sometimes erroneously called a baldachino, in the shape of a crown, the symbol of a royalty and kingship, graces the north end of the cathedral over the tabernacle.

Each of the presidential chairs and sanctuary choir stalls have pelicans carved in solid oak as arm rests.

The cathedral also houses 14 stunning 3/4 bas relief Stations of the Cross carved in Italy using Cararra white marble.

Beneath the main church, as accessed by a side door next to the rectory is McNally Hall, which was renovated in the early 2000s.
