Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc Roman Catholic Church

Abandoned church in Dollard, Saskatchewan August 10, 2017. It looked like a substantial church in its day. Dollard was founded in 1910. About thirty people live there now.

  2. That's a nice one. I'm hoping to see it again in just a few days.

  3. What Jenn said. I always picture in my mind what it might have looked like back when it was being used. Ladies in their Sunday finery - men looking uncomfortable in suits and ties - preacher shaking hands at the door as folks are leaving. I guess my imagination is working overtime. :)

  4. My brother can remember stories of our father and grandfather being part of a group of the church folks moving the church from about 5 miles south of town to where it stands today. They used horses to pull the church on wagon wheels.

  5. This happened in about 1930 when it was moved to make it more centrally located to the parishioners.
