Church of Our Lady of Good Hope, Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories / Janet Wright.: R64-169/1986E-PDF

"The Church of Our Lady of Good Hope set a precedent in interior design for mission churches throughout the Mackenzie district. When Bishop Grouard saw the church in 1889 he was very impressed. He referred to it as a "petit bijou" (little jewel) and wrote of his amazement at finding here, under the Arctic Circle, a decoration so rich, so elegant and so varied"--Conclusion, p. [23].
