Église Sainte-Marie in Church Point
Église Sainte-Marie
Church Point is home to the Église Sainte-Marie, a Catholic place of worship. It is both one of the largest and tallest buildings made of wood in all of North America. The length of the church nave is 58 meters, which is 190 feet, and the width of the transepts is 41 meters, which is 135 feet. The church was constructed in the shape of a cross. From the ground to the top of the steeple, the church spire is 56 meters (184 feet) tall. The cross atop the steeple adds another 1.67 meters (5 feet 6 inches). The church steeple was originally 4.6 meters (15 feet) taller; however, in 1914, it was hit by lightning, which necessitated the rebuilding of a portion of the spire.
The design of the church was influenced by the architecture of the famous châteaux of the Loire Valley and by the design of the church in Father Dagnaud’s hometown of Bains-sur-Oust, France. The central steeple is flanked by a pair of turrets, with four more turrets surrounding the spire.The steeple holds three bronze bells imported from France, the largest weighing almost 800 kilogramsThis must be MarieLunch in the making at Rickers Lake, Ste.

Good idea—instead of an ice-cold stream, I took a bath in a cold lake today.

I was standing there for quite some time to watch the sunset when a car came by. Thanks for helping me make the picture more interesting. A little while after, I started to move again. Time to find a place for tonight!
My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you! Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.
