Technically it is titled the Église Saint-Frédéric (Church) in comparison to the next door building the Presbytere St. Frederic (Rectory). Église refers to a church building, while Presbytere refers to the buiding where the priests live. In this case, the Église is right next to the Presbytere. With regards to the Église - the church is a wonderful religious center for the town of Drummondville, and one where my mother was married back in 1944. The next door Presbytere (Rectory) has been converted into rooms and condos for seniors, but the church still holds weekly services for those so inclined. We are not sure if a permanent priest is assigned to the church or it only has a part-time cleric who travels through on weekends. Either way it is still a beautiful and historic church. On the day we passed through there was a wedding going on ... neat location right across the street from the center park of the old city.

This was another great architectural sight in Montreal, Canada. You might get a feeling of déjà vu…read moreupon seeing the Cathedral-Basilica of Mary, it's modeled after the Vatican in Rome The Catholic Mary Queen of the World Cathedral was built in 1894 as a smaller version of St. Peter's in Rome. The guide informed us that the 13 statues that line the façade's roofline represent the patron saints of parishes who were benefactors for Mary, Queen of the World. Each statue, carved of wood and clad with copper, is 9 feet tall and the work of Joseph Olindo-Gratton, a native of the Quebec province. You can barely see the copper dome and tower from street level. The dome was 252 feet tall and made in 1870-1894. The twelve full-sized copper statues on the roof are the apostles. just wow- it might not come when you research Montreal's top things to do - but make sure you visit it

The front entrance has both steps, and a drive to the huge entrance doors. Inside is a narthex running the full width of the building. Please remember, this is a place of worship. Be respectful of those in prayer throughout. Entering the cathedral through another set of enormous doors the cathedral makes a grand first impression. Along both the right and left sides are chapels dedicated to saints, a baptistry, paintings and statues. Most chapels have candles to light and spaces to sit and pray. A bishops burial chapel is also located within the cathedral. The Ciborium for me is the real show stopper. I was lucky enough to see the one in St. Peter's cathedral, Rome. This is impressive to see in person. Although we did not have an opportunity to hear the organ from 1893, from reading up on it, I'm sure it would have been a treat. You can walk behind the alter/ciborium where there are more areas of worship. If you enjoy the art and architecture of these beautiful Roman churches, you will certainly enjoy this one.

I have attended quite a few churches over the years and I've always found this one to be "home"…read more Pastor Michael San Soucie, or "Pastor Mike" has been here since the beginning. He built this church with his wife Elizabeth, and has shepherded the congregation since it's inception many years ago. He's a true MAN of God who has done so much for the Plattsburgh community (no, not just his parishioners). I can personally attest to this! If you are looking for a place to worship if you're new in the area, or just passing through our community, I would highly recommend coming over! You will find that the Word of God is preached right from the Bible, no "watered down to tickle your ears" sermons here. Pray, participate, or heckle (he's used to it from having yours truly in his congregation) you will find yourself filled, replenished and ready for the world outside. (He can get me motivated to where I want to take on the gates of hell with a squirt gun!) The building is very nice, always clean, several bathrooms and a downstairs nursery with CCTV. The church also has an adjoining "bookstore" with a variety of items and very reasonable prices. With all the variety I honestly don't know why it's called a "bookstore"... Oh yeah, they're also an equal opportunity employer which brings me to Pastor Jimmy (lol, just kidding you Jimmy)... Come on in, we're all family.

The views of the water are great, and one can even swim at your own risk if you want. (i didn't, but just putting it out there!) I found the sign in the front of the shrine a bit rude which said "due to this being a place of worship, proper attire is required". We didn't see anyone that enforced this, but i found it rude because some people just travel up there as peaceful tourists, and may not be religous either. Cool that there is an outdoor church. There is also buildings with a gift shop and restrooms, and a little musuem. the restrooms were very clean, which is good. the musuem was interesting as it mentioned that the french had church at that location then abandoned it. Also enjoyed the history about Samuel De Champlain, in which the Lake is named after. enjoyed the history part the most.
