Church Hill (St. John's Photos)

In Alberta, when we have streets named "Churchill" they're named after Winston. But in St. John's, they have an actual Church Hill.



One thing about St. John's is they have some incredibly beautiful churches. I took some photos of some of the most beautiful downtown churches, representing four of the mainline denominations (I don't think I've seen a Lutheran church since I got to Newfoundland... probably longer than that.) I didn't worship in any of these churches; I went to George Street United when I was there, and I didn't get a photo of that one (alas). Enjoy!

This is the Anglican church on Church Hill (I tried to remember the name, but I forgot).

Gower Street United Church - this is taken from almost the same spot as the previous (Ang.) photo.

St. Andrew's Presbyterian (The Kirk) - A little ways up the slope; we're not on Church Hill anymore.
