Sunday 33A - New Statue in the Neighbourhood - Images of Remembrance Day

 

33RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Grant us, we pray, O Lord our God, the constant gladness of being devoted to you, for it is full and lasting happiness to serve with constancy the author of all that is good. Through our Lord.

NEW STATUE NEAR NATIONAL GALLERY,

THE CATHEDRAL

THE THREE WATCHMEN

In recent days, workmen installed The Three Watchmen, a 4.8-metre bronze totem pole by Haida artist Jim Hart. 

Since Thursday, it exudes a commanding presence on the traffic island at St. Patrick Street and Sussex Drive, where it will be seen by - and watch over - tens of thousands each day.

IMAGES FROM

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Unlike in previous years, I was not able to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies at the National War Memorial. 

Still, in the afternoon, I had a chance to pay my respects and to take a few photos:
