SUNDAY POSTER

A souvenir of a whirlwind trip to New Jersey for a family reunion totaling 53 people.  A wonderful sunset on the east coast.

Notre Dame Chapel



A completely different atmosphere fills the chapel, located around behind the main altar in Montreal's Notre Dame.  Bright, airy and small, the wooden front wall is carved into a mural of the image of Jesus and the Holy Spirit seen above and beyond three portals that suggest human lives.  Very peaceful and inspirational.

Montreal Notre Dame



Larger and much more ornate, Notre Dame in Montreal is just breathtaking.  The blue light haloing the main altar is peaceful and wonderful for contemplation and prayer.  I would have like the statue of St. Peter in any case, but as I recognized it as a replica of the statue in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, I liked it even better.

Notre Dame des Victories


Key feature of the upper level in Quebec is a nice church, one of many Notre Dames in the world.

Bi-Level Quebec City


Well into the St. Lawrence Seaway, we arrived at Quebec City, a bi-level gem with a nice enclave in the area of the port and another section of the city high above on a bluff.  Quaint city scenes and a funicular for quick up & down transportation.

Prince Edward Island


En route to the St. Laurence Seaway, we stopped at Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, a quaint town with a beautiful cathedral up a hill.  Our guide for the walking tour was dressed as she would have been in 1864.  A pleasant day.
