Hikers from our Pop Up Pilgrimage,
October 18, 2025

We are three small country churches along the coast of western Cape Breton.

We celebrate not only the beauty of our landscape, but also the beauty of the people in our communities.

Small but faithful, we strive to follow in the ways of Jesus Christ, who taught us the important thing: love God and love our neighbours.
