We sometimes babysit him ... As you can see he feels right at home here. :-)

Here's a more recent picture of myself ...
And some other persons of my family. It was taken on NewYear's Eve 2002.
I'm still at the back on the left side; on the front row there is my brother Francois (who's so many of you helped getting back to his own self with your prayers - thanks a million). The two little girls are our nieces.

This is our house
Taken this Winter. The snow didn't get much higher than that all Winter long, which is very unusual; during a 'normal' Winter the snow goes up about half the downstair windows.

Just a sunset
But a beautiful one ... It was taken last summer from the top of our house.

Here's a view of our backyard
If you look closely you'll see me in front of the fireplace.
This picture was taken years and years ago although the backyard still look pretty much the same.

Just a cat
We don't know this cat; he just paid us a visit one day. As you can see he was a friendly little fellow

Jack 2003
Here's a more recent picture of Jack (a bit bigger now than on the other picture, isn't he?)

*** Notre-Dame du Cap Shrine ***

La petite Chapelle 1
This is where I go to pray and meditate.

La petite Chapelle 2

Virgin Mary
In the year of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception (1854), a parishioner donates a statue of the Virgin to the church. This statue of Our Lady of the Cape is still venerated in the Small shrine.

On June 22nd 1888, consecration to Mary of the small church, which thus becomes the "Shrine". Father Frederic, o.f.m., who will become the first Director of pilgrimages at the NDC Shrine, delivers the appropriate sermon. The same night, three people witness the statue of the Virgin opening its eyes.

Ste-Marie's Lake 1
It's around this lake (which is actually a big pond) that pilgrims assemble at night with their candles to sing and pray the Virgin Mary

Ste-Marie's Lake 2

Candles Procession 1
These are two of my four sisters. Carmen on the left and my oldest sister Gisele on the right.
Behind them, on the left, there is the illuminated Virgin Mary statue in the middle of the Ste-Marie's lake. All around the lake are pilgrims with their candles.

Virgin Mary on the lake
Here's a close-up of the statue you can see in the middle of the lake in the pictures above

Candles Procession 4

Pont des Chapelets
On March 16th 1879, after a mild winter during which the river didn't freeze over, an ice bridge appears on the St. Lawrence River. Lasting a week, it allows the parishioners to carry the stone needed to begin the building of a new parish church. This ice bridge, called the "Rosary Bridge", was the answer to the many rosaries recited by the parishioners with this aim in view. The parish priest, Mr Desilets, had vowed not to demolish the small church and to dedicate it to Mary. The 'Pont des Chapelets' bridge on this picture was later on built to commemorate this event.

Calvary 1
This replica of the Calvary was erected in 1916, in accordance with Father Frederic's suggestion.

Calvary 2
This is what's underneath the Calvary (above)

*** Notre-Dame du Cap Shrine ***

The Shrine
Here you can see the Shrine as you would see it if you were coming by boat from the St-Laurence river

The two Shrines
Here you can see both shrines. The old one (also known as 'The small shrine' or 'The small chapel') built in 1727 (or so) and the new shrine in the back

The garden
A view of the garden in front of the old shrine

Inside the Small Shrine 1
Here you can see the inside of the small shrine. This picture was taken from the back of the shrine; as you can see it is a pretty small shrine (originally sitting only 64 people)

Inside the Small Shrine 2
That is a close-up of the Sainte-Marie's sculpture

Inside the Small Shrine 3
And here's a view from the front

Inside the Shrine 1
Here's what you see when you go into the Shrine. As you can see the octogonal design of the Shrine gives you an unobstructed view no matter where you sit

Inside the Shrine 2
And this is a picture from the side

Inside the Shrine 3
Here you can see a close-up of the front

The Shrine's Organ 1
This is the organ

The Shrine's Organ 2
And here's another one

From the Shrine's steps
This picture was taken from the steps of the Shrine. You can see a part of the garden and the St-Laurent river in the back

The Saint- Laurent River
This is a view of the St-Laurent river

Sainte-Marie's Lake
This is a view of the Sainte-Marie's lake

St-Odilon Church
Here's a picture of our church. As you can see this is a respectable sized church. I put it here so you can get an idea of the size of the Shrine on the next two pictures.

The NDC Shrine & St-Odilon church compared
I don't know why, but it is hard to really appreciate the size of the new Shrine even when you see it with your own eyes. That is why I took 5 pictures of the Shrine and of our churches (see previous picture) at regular intervals and then put them side by side so this gives you a better idea of the size of the Shrine

The St-Odilon church beside the Shrine
Here I pasted our churches on the picture of the Shrine (both taken at 300')

*** Notre-Dame du Cap Novana ***

The Shrine
Seen from a distance of about 2 miles

Exterior #1
The persons on this picture were not waiting to enter the Shrine (as it was already overcrowded); they were following the celebration from the Shrine's steps.
(Sorry for the poor quality of all of the exterior shots)

Exterior #2
Most of the following pictures are of persons following the celebration from the parking lot.
All of these pictures were taken toward the end of the celebration that is why on some pictures there are fewer persons than on other pictures of the same location.

Exterior (Busses)
These are some of the busses. About half of them were from the province; the other half were mostly from New-York and New-Jersey

Interior #0
This picture and the eight following are of the interior. We had to wait until the celebration was almost over before we could get in; this explains why on some pictures it appears that many seats were not taken

Interior #1
It was really hard to get a good look at the crowd, that is why I took so many pictures

Candles Procession #1
These are pictures of the Candles procession that follows the celebration that marks the end of the Novana.
I never had attempted to take pictures in the dark before so there are all way too dark; however you can still get a good idea of the look and feeling of this procession (I think :-)
