On May 12, 1888, John Joseph Lynch, C.M., the first Archbishop of Toronto, Canada, died. He was born in Ireland and traveled extensively doing missionary work. He also founded the Seminary of Our Lady of the Angels, which later became Niagara University. Also on this date, in 1878, Thaddeus Amat y Brusi, C.M., died. Amat was born in Barcelona, Spain, on December 31, 1810 and he became the first Bishop of Los Angeles, California.
