(Ontario Heritage Trust) The exterior walls are of brick and are load-bearing walls. About midway down the aisles, there are two small chapels on the north and south sides that are beautifully decorated with small colourful tiles and candles.

The lines cut into the stone also give it a mirrored look, reflecting from side to side, allowing the beautiful green stone to sparkle even more. If I look closely into the stone I can see myself in the reflection. The stone sits right on top of the white colored mounting giving it a great focal point.
