Our Lady of Good Hope

Saturday, June 30th, 2007 by GetawayBC.com

Our Lady of Good Hope Church is one of the oldest Roman Catholic Churches. It was built by Father Blanchet in 1873 and was the first permanent Catholic mission north of Williams Lake. When you visit this church, which is used for services every Saturday evening in the summer, you will see the cabin where Father Morice printed prayer books and newspapers for the Carrier people. Nearby, the graveyard has a number of stones inscribed in the Carrier symbols devised by Father Morice. The church is located on Lakeshore Drive, overlooking Stuart Lake.
