History:
Église Sainte-Marie is a Catholic church in Church Point, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is one of the largest and tallest wooden buildings in North America. Built in the form of a cross, the church nave measures 58 metres (190 feet) in length, with transepts that are 41 metres (135 feet) across. The church spire rises 56 metres (184 feet) from floor to steeple, with its cross adding another 1.67 meters (5.5 feet). Originally 15 feet taller, the church steeple was struck by lightning in 1914, requiring part of the spire to be rebuilt.

Holy Cross Catholic Church - Plympton
Following is a brief history of the parish from the 1988 publication prepared for the 150th Anniversary of the parish:
In December 1818, Father Anssant was sent from France to assist Père Jean-Mandé Sigogne, the pastor of Paroisse Sainte-Marie in Church Point. Father Anssant was given charge of two missions: Saint-Mandé (Meteghan) and Sainte-Croix (Holy Cross, Plympton). At the time, the Catholic mission of Sainte-Croix (Holy Cross) in Plympton covered the town of Digby, Bear River, Digby Neck and the Islands to the east, and to the west, as well as Corberrie, Weymouth and parts (east) of Saint Bernard.
Father Anssant administered baptism in Plympton for the first time on January 14th, 1838, to Suzanne-Henriette Comeau, born the same day. Suzanne was the daughter of Olivier Comeau and Françoise Thibault.
At this time (1838), the first chapel was built at Holy Cross and it stood where the present cemetery calvary scene stands now. Oral tradition has it that the land for the chapel was donated by Bénoni-Henri Melanson and that this first chapel was built by Mathias Melanson. By 1868, Saint-Bernard had become a parish in its own right and Holy Cross became a mission served by the pastor of Saint-Bernard.
In 1881, construction began on a new church to replace the chapel. The Stations of the Cross were erected in 1890 to coincide with the completion of the new church. Construction on the rectory began in 1891 and was ready for the arrival of the new resident pastor, Father Louis Decheneau, in 1892.
Between 1818 and 1909, Holy Cross Parish was served by priests from away: from France, English-speaking priests of mostly Irish origin and French-Canadians from the province of Québec. In 1909 Holy Cross parish was finally able to welcome one of its own sons, Father P. Thibault, who remained pastor until 1923. During Father Thibault’s tenure, a mission church was built in Doucetteville. Father Thibault was followed by Father Michael Doucet (1923-1929) and Father Luc Gaudet (1929-1943). {More about the pastors serving Holy Cross Parish}
It fell upon Father Luc Gaudet to rebuild the church and rectory after the disastrous fire of June 3, 1938 destroyed the church, the rectory, the parish hall and three outbuildings in the space of an hour and a half. As reported in a local newspaper at the time:
“…Father Luc Gaudet, parish priest, told the press he was eating his dinner when he was told the church was on fire.Entering the building, he found the flames coming through the floor from the basement, and were breaking out in all sections…”
The only items saved in the 1938 fire were the blessed sacrement and vestments (from the church), furnishings and parish records from the rectory) and some furnishings in the new parish hall.
In May 1939, less than one year after the fire, the cornerstone of a new church was was blessed; the new church took ten years to complete. At this time, Holy Cross Parish served not only Plympton inhabitants but also those of its missions at Doucetteville, Marshalltown and Digby Neck.
After 1948, Holy Cross Parish had only one mission church, that at Doucetteville. Responsibility for the missions of Marshalltown, Digby Neck and Freeport was transferred to the town of Digby. The parish of Holy Cross now encompassed Plympton, Plympton Station, Gilbert’s Cove, Ashmore, Weymouth North, Hillgrove, Barton and the mission of Doucetteville.
1958 was a landmark year for Holy Cross Parish as this marked the arrival of three Sisters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. These good sisters worked with the children of the parish and their parents, ministered to the sick and the troubled, and also worked with the youth of the parish. They left an indelible mark on the parish.
St . James United Church/L'Église Unie St . James à Montréal
L'existence de la communauté de l'église unie St. James remonte en 1802 alors que les premiers Méthodistes s'installèrent à Montréal. Leur première église, érigée en 1907, était située au coin des rues St.-Sulpice et Notre-Dame, juste derrière l'actuelle Basilique Notre-Dame. En 1821, une nouvelle église était construite au coin des rues St.-Jacques et Saint-François-Xavier. Une troisième église, sise à quelques pas de la seconde église, était construite en 1845 sur le site actuel de l'édifice de la Banque Canadienne de Commerce sur la rue St-Jacques. Le nom de la communauté, St. James (St. Jacques) vient du lieu où se situait ces églises.
En 1887, la communauté déménagea à son site actuel. La pierre angulaire de cette quatrième église fut placée le 11 juin 1887 et l'église fut dédicacée en juin 1889. On disait, à l'époque, que c'était la plus grande église Méthodiste au monde. En 1925, la fusion des églises Méthodistes, Presbytériennes et Congrégationnelles a formé l'église Unie du Canada et, depuis ce temps, l'église possède sa présente appellation. Les boutiques et bureaux installés en face de l'église furent ajoutés en 1926, comme mesure temporaire, pour survenir à de sérieuses difficultés financières. Les circonstances ayant changées, ces bâtiments ont été démolis en 2006 et la façade splendide de St. James se révèle encore aux passants de la rue Sainte-Catherine.

Sisters of Life
The Sisters of Life is a contemplative / active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O'Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Like all religious communities, we take the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. We also are consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life.
Reverence and gratitude for the unique and unrepeatable gift of each human life made in the image and likeness of God fuels the prayer of each Sister, our first mission in building the Kingdom of God and the Culture of Life. It also provides the starting point for our interactions with others, especially relationships in community between our 80 Sisters (who come from across the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Australia and Spain), and in our apostolates.
Inspired by the love of Christ our Spouse, the author of Life, we desire to pour out all our gifts of nature and grace in the apostolate, that nothing of the gift of life, and no one to whom it has been given, should be lost.
Our missions are carried out with the heart of the Church and with the hope of revealing to those we serve the inherent goodness and beauty of their own lives, so that each person may see and experience the truth that they are an unrepeatable creation of the Master.

Tim Staples clarifies that anyone in full communion with Rome who attends an SSPX mass out of love for the traditional liturgy legitimately fulfills his Sunday obligation, and then gives a brief overview of the history of the society and its conflicts with the Church.
Tim Staples is Director of Apologetics and Evangelization here at Catholic Answers, but he was not always Catholic. Tim was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps.
During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various Assemblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an Assembly of God community. During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up: the Catholic Church!
He converted to Catholicism in 1988 and spent the following six years in formation for the priesthood, earning a degree in philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pennsylvania. He then studied theology on a graduate level at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, for two years. Realizing that his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary in 1994 and has been working in Catholic apologetics and evangelization ever since.
Sacred Heart Church, Sydney, Nova Scotia
After 125 years of use, the church was desanctified and closed on June 22nd. John Martell, a man who grew up in the church recounts some of his memories about the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Singing in the choir, baptisms, confessionals, funerals, services, and fixtures.
Now the hope is to operate the building as a museum through the Friends of Sacred Heart Church Society.

My Daily Bread, Father Anthony Paone, Part 1 Of 2, Full-Length Catholic Audiobook
Written by: Father Anthony J. Paone, S.J. The work here presented, is a summary of spiritual doctrine so simplified and arranged that everyone can come to a knowledge and practice of the principles of the spiritual life. Written primarily for the layman in the language of the layman, it will prove helpful to the priest and religious. Imprimatur 1954.
The Catholic Church teaches that once consecrated in the Eucharist, the elements cease to be bread and wine[44][45] and become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ, whole and entire indeed under the species of bread, and of wine, via a conversion called transubstantiation.[46] Each of which is accompanied by the other and by Christ's soul and divinity,[47] as long as the Eucharistic species subsist,[48] that is, until the Eucharist is digested, physically destroyed, or decays by some natural process[49] (at which point Aquinas argued that the substance of the bread and wine cannot return).[50] The empirical appearance and physical properties (called the species or accidents) are not changed, but in the view of Catholics, the reality (called the substance) indeed is; hence the term transubstantiation to describe the phenomenon. The consecration of the bread (known as the Host) and wine represents the separation of Jesus' Body from his Blood at Calvary. However, since he has risen, the Church teaches that his Body and Blood can no longer be truly separated. Where one is, the other must be. Therefore, although the priest (or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion) says The Body of Christ when administering the Host and The Blood of Christ when presenting the chalice, the communicant who receives either one receives Christ, whole and entire.
