St. Raphael's Ruins

In 1970 a fire consumed the church of St. Raphael's, one of the earliest Roman Catholic churches in English-speaking Canada.

Dear Damien:
These are pictures of St Raphael's taken in the early 60's before the fire. A lot of MacDonalds and Mc Donell's went to church here. Many of my aunts and cousins are buried here as well. I hope the pictures are of some value to you,

Enjoy,

Present Day

I never knew that Ranald MacIsaac MacDonald 1754-1859 and Janet Cameron 1783-1863 were buried here. They would be interesting to look for. Janet was the young one that got married at age 14 in Scotland. Had 8 children there and 7 of them moved to Canada, one to Australia.
