From the Scrapbook - 1942


This first photo and the following were taken by Life Magazine's John Philips.  Here we see the Parish Priest and sacristan walking up the sidewalk on home visitation.   We can assume this is a serious visit as the children of the house are kneeling alongside the road. 


In this second photo we become aware of a second photographer who must have been standing alongside of the house.  The little girl continues to kneel in prayer.  



Life Magazine revealed to us that the Priest was indeed on a serious visit as he is carrying a Consecrated Host to a dying child. 
Location:Quebec, Canada
Date taken:1942
Photographer:John Phillips
