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

This is a beautiful church. The sanctuary is simple but nice. It seems that the Tabernacle is in the centre which is symbolized by the veil. I kind of like how they have the veil tied back. It gives the message "Jesus' is home, come and vist me." Again...I don't seem to see a sanctuary Lamp...Maybe I'm blind. The side altar of Our Lady is nice also.

The tabernacle is in the side altar on the left the one in the middle altar in just for looks I guess.
