Last week on a gloomy day I had occasion to head out to the Westboro neighbourhood. Part of the way I walked, part of the way I took transit. I decided that among the shots I'd take on this trip, I wanted church shots along with the fall colours.
I started in Little Italy, with these colours mixed in with St. Mary's Parish, a Catholic church. I've shown it before, but it has been awhile.
My path led me on into Hintonburg. The neighbourhood is dominated by Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
Nearby is another Catholic church. The Queen Of The Most Holy Rosary Parish is a big name for what from the outside appears to be a modest church.
This is the Canadian United Pentecostal Church further west. It appears to share its premises with another congregation.
And in Westboro itself, this church building houses two congregations. All Saints Anglican Church and First United Church worship here.
The church appears in the background here, beside another building we'll get a look at down the line. It might look like a church, but was built as a town hall.
Interesting variety in the church architecture there, all looking good with the fall colours.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSome different styles, interesting.
ReplyDeleteAn imposing structure indeed.
ReplyDelete...and the churches come in all sizes and shapes.

Names of churches should be able to fit on a sign. They tend to be shortened anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteChurches and fall colors is a great idea. The photos are lovely.

Hello, wonderful series of churches. I love the colorful trees too. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteAt the churches I can see that Canada was once belonging to the Communwealth. They all look like the once I have seen in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the millions of prayers those walls have enveloped.
ReplyDeleteYou passed quite a few interesting churches on your travels that day. Are these churches open during the day so you can go in and have a look around?
ReplyDeleteHandsome churches, William.
ReplyDeletei know, i know we need all seasons but FALL rocks ...it is truly best in my books. such a fan. great colors!! ( ;
ReplyDeleteNice churches you share here. The fall colors are wonderful, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice collection of beautiful churches. Love the autumn colours.
ReplyDeleteThe churches which need to survive have found a way to share space...which must be interesting when the congregants run into each other!
ReplyDeleteA religious day for you! ;-)

It's a stylish collection.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very appealing time of year.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful series of churches. In my small town churches are much smaller and generally rather plain.
ReplyDeleteA great series of churches. They look splendid surrounded by autumn's colour.
ReplyDeleteI like the different style of architecture a lot.
ReplyDeleteSeems each church is unique....you also caught some fall foliage.
