Notre Dame Basilica in Quebec City is the oldest parish church in North America north of Mexico. The perish was established in 1647. The original church was destroyed in 1759 but it has been rebuilt.
One of of our objectives for this tour was to go from the oldest church in St. Thomas to the oldest church in Canada. We could not book a performance because the sanctuary was under renovation, but access for the public to the interior was still open. Here is what the church looked like on the morning we arrived.
At this point in the renovation most of the work was done, and they were now taking down the scaffolding. Even so I asked if we could sing one piece, and we were given permission. Check out the performance amongst the sounds of scaffolding being disassembled!
