Description: Contributor: F. Peters, London,ON Designed by Francois Xavier Edouard Meloche (1855-1917) to replace the original, much smaller mission which was destroyed by fire on May 24 1890, the cornerstone was laid August 15 1892 on "The Feast of the Acadians".[1] An annual church picnic still exists celebrating this date. The lovely church, so little know to Islanders in general, is an architectural gem of considerable importance, not only to the island, but to Canada as a whole. This is so not only because of its fine design and craftmanship, both inside and out, but also because of its association with Francois Xavier Meloche, an artist/architect who has yet to take his proper place in the annals of Canadian art.[1]
