Nostalgia pilgrimage

I was in the neighbourhood, so here’s Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Catholic), where the fam and I used to go to church. Parents still go, though—or would, if not for COVID. The parish was created in 1872 and this church came up in 1932, replacing an earlier one that was ravaged by fire, which itself had replaced a smaller one down in the Lebreton Flats at the foot of Queen Street.
