Why St. Michael’s Hospital has the sweetest ghost

St. Michael’s Hospital is an icon in the downtown core. Located close to the heart of the city, this hospital has gone through multiple expansions over the past few years, but its oldest portion at 30 Bond Street has stood for decades and naturally has a haunting. This haunting is different than most as it does not feature a disgruntled spirit, but rather a kind ghost. 

Sister Vincenza passed away in 1958. She worked at the hospital when it was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph. She was a regular figure at the hospital, comforting patients on the seventh floor. According to the St. Michael’s Hospital website, Sister Vincenza, who was referred to as Vinnie, graduated from the nursing program at the hospital in 1922. She worked at the hospital from 1928 to 1956 as a supervisor on the obstetrics floor - today the floor houses the Heart and Vascular program.

The spirit bestows acts to patients. She turns lights on and off for people and sometimes gives them a blanket. Those who have seen the nun reportedly see her in full habit, but can never see her face as it is in a permeant shadow.

Many wonder why the nun stays around and some say it is because she loved her job so much and wants to continue watching over patients.

Thanks for the great 10 days of care St. Mike’s (@stmichaelsfdn)! I’m now convalescing at home following a nasty bout of Aseptic Meningitis.

Today I had an amazing day spending time with the survivors of the Distress Centre of the Greater Toronto Area exploring channelling grief through art. I want to thank Alex Shendelman, Program Mgr of Traumatic Loss Survivor Support Program for this amazing opportunity to share my art practice as part of mental wellness @distresscentresgta #traumaticlosssurvivorsupportprogram #mentalwellness #survivors #artfacilitation #stmichaelshospital #apanakitemitayom (at Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Q9yyggza7/?igshid=1slos9spn11zh

I call this one "hospital gown chic" 😂😂😂 . . . Nearly three years ago now (jeeeez time flies) I broke my neck. Some of you might remember that! And now, I get annual MRIs to follow up and make sure that all the complications surrounding the injury are still safe and not doing any further damage. One of the upsides of being back at home, in Toronto: free health care! Thanks #stmichaelshospital for a quick in-and-out treatment. 👍🏻🏥👨‍⚕️ #lealifeupdate #sometimesipostnotcosplay #smh
