This Toronto-based band all met as kids. Their name comes from the Catholic church they all attended. They got together in 1992 when singer Raine Maida answered a "musicians wanted" ad in a local Toronto newspaper. Original guitarist Mike Turner had placed the ad in the paper and the two started writing songs soon after they met.
Raine Madia's real name is Michael Raine Madia, but while former guitarist Mike Turner was in the group he thought that it would be silly having two Mikes, so he just used his middle name.
Mike Turner left the band during the Christmas holiday in 2001 just before they began recording their 5th album, Gravity.
