Name That Church: Port au Port

I was amazed how quickly I got response to my mystery church post last week that I thought I’d through the challenge out to the Newfoundland blogging community again, this time with not one but two churches. They’re both on the Port au Port Peninsula, and were pretty enough to be snapped, but their identity it unknown to me. So, people of the west coast, history buffs and Newfoundland aficionados – can you help me out by naming either of these two churches? I’d love to know – leave it in the comments!

Of course the Port au Port Peninsula is a pretty and little area on the west coast, near Corner Brook. One of its points of distinction: an alpaca farm
That’s my daughter’s hand! And look below – I told you it was pretty!

Sunday Church Blogging: St. Matthew’s

 

Of course ‘St. Matthew’s’ could refer to any number of countless churches – there’s at least two on the Baccalieu Trail – but today I’m highlighting the beautiful one in Green’s Harbour. Beautiful, and old. The Anglican community has records from the region dating to the early 1800s, and this church was built in 1880. Over 130 years old and still going strong!
