St. Simon & St. Jude Roman Catholic Church - 1859

     The other day I came across this history brochure I picked up while at a service at St. Simon & St. Jude in the summer of 2002.

     Also with the above brochure was another of the 129th organ built by Louis Mitchell of Montreal built in 1882. 

     Below is a photo of St. Simon & St. Jude taken by Henry Cundall of Charlottetown in 1860 - a southwest view.

Below: my 2009 photo showing the northwest view of St. Simon & St. Jude.

     Below my photos of the church east front, along with a view of the adjacent Parochial House.

     Below:  Photo from Parish Website.  Interior restored in 2002 by Atlantic Cathedral Painters. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Atlantic-Cathedral-Painters-Ltd/289022579488  The first time I was in the church for a service following the restoration I couldn't stop looking up at the gold stars on the ceiling - it's absolutely spectacular!

     Below is a before and after from Altantic Cathedral Painters Facebook page of the painting of St. Simon & St. Jude ceiling.
