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.
