Our statue of St. Anthony of Padua has been restored, thanks to your generous contributions ! We would like to thank Brushworks for their fine work and our fellow parishioner Anastasia Bell for her assistance with the air brush treatment which helped remove the chipped paint !
Note to parents:
If you would like a copy of all the pictures taken (over 400), please bring a blank memory stick or DVD disk to Mass next Sunday. I will bring them back a week later
The installation of the magnificent Limoges enameled Stations of the Cross gifted to Saint Clement Parish by a Québec City church has been completed.
The cost of preparing the walls and hanging the Via Crucis was budgeted at $7,000, an amount almost immediately met earlier this month by the very generous response of St. Clement parishioners.
Visually stunning, the Limoges Via Crucis the parish will long be proud of replaces the plaster casts formerly in place which had been substantially altered and painted over during the 1967 renovations carried out to the church’s interior.
Dating from 1890, the Limoges Stations were installed in a Quebec City chapel which later became the church of Notre-Dame-de-Jacques-Cartier. A recent reorganization of Québec City parishes resulted in the church’s closure in 2012.
