"Cardinal Aloysius Ambrozic was a man who preferred deeds over words, a tireless advocate for refugees and immigrants.

The retired clergyman, who served as Toronto's archbishop for more than a decade, died after a lengthy illness on Friday. He was 81.

"Cardinal Ambrozic helped many new Canadians feel welcome in Ontario through his work in the church," Premier Dalton McGuinty said in a statement. "I had the honour of meeting Cardinal Ambrozic on a number of occasions and will remember his grace and commitment to his faith.""
