Most of the immigrants to this small area of the province were of Polish descent.
Inside is a white and gold altar. Still beautiful even though the three statues are now gone. The narrow wall at the back of the apse adds more drama to the altar setting.
The back of the church is a traditional five-sided apse although the small six-sided cupola on the roof is a unique feature I haven't seen before.
The cross on the steeple is simple, attractive and (dare I say it?) fun! The same ironmonger/blacksmith designed crosses for at least two other churches nearby but each one is just a little bit different than the others.
Kitty-corner to the church is a small graveyard. The most recent burial I noticed was 2013...not so long ago.
I love the old paige wire fence along the front of the cemetery. It doesn't interrupt the view.

Nice find!
ReplyDeleteThanks BW. These chance finds are always a nice surprise.
DeleteThe altar is spectacular - hopefully someone will preserve it somehow. And the workmanship on the cross is amazing too
ReplyDeleteI love the old-fashioned altars and metal-work too! Thanks MA.
