St. Paul's Catholic Church
Sadly, it was exactly one year ago today that this once-thriving 140 year-old Roman Catholic church in the heart of Aylmer went up in flames. Today, the church and a statue of St. Paul himself stand as you see it here: a constant reminder of such a malicious crime. When the scene was investigated, police found an empty gas can nearby.
On the up-side, just over a week ago, a new design was unveiled – one that encompassed some of the original heritage elements while introducing a few new architectural advances. It will be some time, though, before the rebuild can commence due to significant fundraising that needs to happen first. But will keep you posted...
