| This is Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral. It's dome is based on St. Peter's Dome in Vatican City, just over half its dimensions. |

| Bishop Ignace Bourget statue. The construction of the cathedral was ordered by Mgr. Bourget to replace the former Saint-Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. His tomb is in a burial chapel, to the left of the nave. |

| These statues are a mix of 2 disciples (John and James the greater, this cathedral's patron saint), 1 apostle (Paul), and 10 patron saints. Jesus is not up there with a baby! |
