St Peter's Catholic Church

St Peter's Catholic Church the second oldest Roman Catholic parish in southwestern Ontario, located in Prairie Siding, Ontario Parish is now clustered with St. Patrick, Merlin and St.

The religious centre for a thriving Franco-Ontario community, this substantial brick structure was built to serve La Paroisse de St. Pierre sur la Tranche, the second oldest Roman Catholic parish in southwestern Ontario, established in 1802. It was erected in 1896, with volunteer labour provided by parishioners, and replaced an earlier building destroyed by fire the year before. Prominently situat

ed in a rural setting overlooking the Thames River, St. Peter's is distinguished by its tall, square tower, spiral steeple and decorative brickwork. The church's most notable features however are the eighteen ecclesiastical paintings that grace the interior. Commissioned in 1920, they are the work of Marie Joseph Georges Delfosse (1869-1939), a French-Canadian artist noted for his religious and historical tableaux. Francis Xavier, Tilbury

Message from a visitor, reposted at her demand, if anybody can help.

I hope you can help me. For over fifty years, I have been friends with Louie & Marie Mailloux. Their address was R.R.2, Tilbury. Even though we are miles apart, we have stayed in touch. Now my mail is being returned and their phone number no longer exists. I think they had five children, but I can only remember two of them. One was Christine and one was Aline. Louie had a heart attack a few years ago and I would like to get in touch with them. I hope they are members of your church and you can help me.
