Sts. Peter and Paul Church

Destroyed by Fire December 28, 1996

Fire ravages throughout the church from rear section up to the spire

Spire leans and begins to fall as the roof burns and then collapses within the burning walls

Darkness turns to daylight as fire consumes the 83 year old structure

Firemen continue to pump water into the burning shell

The firemen begin the task of collecting all the hoses used in fighting the fire

Firemen prevented the fire from spreading to the adjacent parish hall

The front and rear of the remaining structure

Demolition of the remaining structure begins

As the walls are levelled all that remains is rubble

Salvaged from the rubble: Our Tabernacle, Monstrance, Lectionary Cover, Santuary Light stand, vigil lights,

several Stations of the Cross....the first one found being "The Resurection".

The "Grieving Community" sharing Mass and exchanging well wishes in their hastily converted temporary

"House of Worship" in the Canadian Polish Society Center on December 29, 1996

Pictures will be added as they become available
