St Helen's
This beautiful Gothic Revival church, St Helen's Roman Catholic, can be found on Dundas St West in the Brockton neighbourhood. It was constructed in 1909 and originally served a mainly Irish congregation, but as the population around it changed so has the congregation and it is now predominately a Portuguese centre. The church has been given heritage status and is the second largest Catholic church in the city after St Michael's Cathedral.

ReplyDeleteA very inspirational post, to say the least. It reminds me of many churches of different denominations built in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting! Sorry about your snow. We had so much rain this morning, I missed my golf game. Darn! And it's cooling off, too. In the 60s now, I think. But no snow! :)
