St. Malachy's Church Kinkora PEI

St. Malachy's church is another Harris church. It is located about 20 minutes from Indian River. This is a nice church which is very similar to St. Mary's. It seems a lot smaller on the inside than it looks from the outside.

There is a very nice high altar but as you can see the tabernacle is located on a side altar (grrrrrr.)

St. Mary's Church Indian River PEI

This is St. Mary's Church located in Indian River. It was built in 1902. The architect was William Harris a famous PEI church architect. This is supposedly his most famous church on PEI. This beautiful church sadly isn't used much anymore except for a 9:00am Sunday Mass. The Blessed Sacrament is not even reposed in this church anymore. The church's main function is now as the home of the Indian River music festival, a series of concerts held over the summer.


The altar and sanctuary are very stunning all made out wood, possibly even hand carved.


This is a very beautiful church it's really too bad it can't be used to its full potential.

St. Paul's Church Summerside PEI

This is a modern church it was built in 1960. Even though it is modern it still has a nice traditional touch to it.







This interior of the church is pretty simple the altar table is very nice and the side altar with the tabernacle is also nice...However it would look a lot better in the center of the sanctuary. The crucifix stands out very nicely above the altar.
The back of the church has a huge Casavant organ on the balcony. This adds a nice traditional touch to the very modern interior.

St. John The Baptist Church Miscouche PEI

This is a very beautiful church it was recently fully restored. Before the outside was a pale blue colour but this yellow is the original colour of the the church. The pastor (Rev. Albin Arsenault) has put a great effort into restoring the church. As he did when he was pastor in Tignish (1986-2002)

The altar is nothing special to be honest but it is nice in it's simplicity. Again in this church I would move the tabernacle to center of the high altar. Completing the front of the church is a huge crucifix above the high altar.

.In the back of the church is a Casavant organ. The red ceilings of the church are stunning it is red to symbolize the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist

Immaculate Conception Church Palmer Road

This is the largest wooden church in the diocese of Charlottetown (PEI) It is located about a 15 minute drive from Tignish. This Church was built in 1893. I don't know much about it other than it is a very beautiful building.


It has a very beautiful high altar which I believe is original. The two side altars complete the front of the church. The only this I would change, would be to move the tabernacle back to the center of the high altar.

Completing the back of the church above the balcony is a huge rose window which was just newly installed in 2007 replacing an older window. This is an awesome window. I also really like the way the pillars continue up to support the roof.

St. Simon & St. Jude, Tignish, PEI

St. Simon & St. Jude church is my parish church. It is very beautiful. It was built in 1859 and is the third church of the parish. It is of the neo-gothic style and was designed by Patrick C. Keeley of New York. It measures 100' long by 60' wide.



The High Altar is a replica of the original, which was destroyed in the sixties. The replica was installed in 2000. The pulpit, however, is original.



Another picture of the front of the church notice the star filled ceiling which is painted to look as if you were looking up towards Heaven. This was painted in 1997.



Here are a few more pictures I just uploaded the first in the second row is of our adoration chapel.

Welcome

Hey, this is obviously my first post, so I don't have much to say. I have a huge interest in church architecture, I like traveling around and looking at different churches and taking pictures. So I decided I would start posting the pictures I take in a blog. I will keep updating this each time I visit a new Church.
