Another sad end, this time for a gorgeous Catholic Church in Nova Scotia.

Église Saint-Bernard in Digby County, NS: attendance had dwindled to “30 to 40 people.” The church needed repairs the congregation couldn’t afford, so it’s up for sale, asking price is 250,000 CAD.

During its heyday, LeBlanc said there were two masses on weekends with over a thousand people in attendance for each. By the time COVID-19 arrived, she said around 35 people were attending the one weekend mass.

A thousand worshipers, down to 35. True, the county population has declined, but surely not ca. 97%. What happened to the rest of those worshippers? Can’t say for sure but it’s easy to guess.

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
