There are 113 Catholic parishes
in Montreal and 265 churches and

Quebec is one of the oldest cities
on the continent and is oldfash-
toned in appearance and architec-
ture. 95 per cent of the population
is French and the city is like an
old-world city. The city is full OF
statues Of Christ and images OF
the crucifixion, statues in parks
and in front of dwelling houses
and even religious images in the
street cars.
Thirtyfive miles from Quebec
is the Church Of st. Anne de Beau
pre. This church is very large, CON
sidering the size of the town. In
fact DIR. DeWane said that three
bishops and six or eight priests
sang mass in the church at the
same time. There are two cholrs'
one of boys and one of men. A
statue of Saint Anne in solid gold
is n of the impressive Things.
st. Anne de Beaupre is credited
with many miracles particularly
in the matter of healing, and on
the grounds there is a large pie
of crutches and other appliances
which have been discarded by Grip
niles who have been cured. In the
ward surrounding the church Oh 81
Anne the stations of the cross are
represented by life size Figures
There is also a stairway, called
sScola Santa" which is always as
cended kneeling, a prayer being
said on each step.
