I’ve been using my Sundays posts to highlight churches in different communities, and today I’m going slightly off-island with the Saint-Pierre Cathedral, in St. Pierre, which I love. This cathedral was rebuilt after a fire in 1905, on land which had housed a church since the 1600s. In researching this post I learned that this Roman Catholic church is built in the Basque style. I especially like how the stain glass windows and door handle celebrate Saint Pierre’s connection to the sea and fishing – just like ours.
Saint Pierre is a short ferry ride from Fortune, Newfoundland, which itself is about a 4 hour drive from the cottages. It’s a really fun way to soak up a little bit of French culture in between your Newfoundland road trips!
