Around St. John’s-Days 31 & 32, July 21 & 22

One of the first things I noticed driving through St. John’s is their painted electrical boxes. They each have a different theme. I don’t how this trend started , but I for one think it’s fun. I know there are articles out there asking for the boxes to not be painted since it draws attention to them. Yes, it does, in a good way though. Celebrate art!

Another warm thing about the maritimes and it has held true through all of the provinces is that they are truly LGBTQIA friendly! We see flags, banners, posters, flowers, clothing, and more supporting this community. If someone is being persecuted they will get you to Canada for free! Of course once you are there they will help you get set up in a job and then you need to reimburse them back for getting you out of your situation.

As in most cities, they too had a huge basilica. This one was so beautiful. Welcome to the Basilica of St. John the Baptist.

Ship Captains will use the cross in the center to head in through the channel. This lines them up perfectly
There are 4 priests buried under the altar. No more will be added since so much concrete has been added to hold up the weight of the altar and the statues.
