| Legacy in Wood | ||||
;) In 1991, an exhibit of the sacred art of Father Charles
Chalifoux, CSSP, was organized by the Committee of the St. Paul
Historical Museum in collaboration with members of the parish of
St. Vincent. Much interest was raised, and in consequence, a
traveling exhibit was prepared. Given the fragility of the
artifacts and the great cost of travel, a small portion of the
artwork was selected to travel. The parish council of St.
Vincent permitted us to use the church and the parish hall to
photograph the artifacts and lent us linens for the altar and
communion rails. Without their help and that of many other
volunteers, the exhibit and this catalogue would not have been
possible. Special thanks to Mme Laura Forrend who provided an
eyewitness account of the creation of the artworks and of the
socio-cultural life of the community of St. Vincent. Her
devotion to the memory of Fr. Charles Chalifoux was the initial
inspiration for the collection of his artworks.
