The ruins of St. Raphael Roman Catholic Church (1821-1970) in South Glengarry, Ontario

The ruins of St. Raphael Roman Catholic Church (1821-1970) in South Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.

Built in 1821, it was gutted by fire in 1970. The Ruins were declared a Canadian National Historic Site in 1999.

Commenced by Alexander Macdonell, vicar general and future Roman Catholic Bishop of Upper Canada, this large stone church served a congregation of Gaelic-speaking Catholic Highlanders who had settled in the easternmost county of Upper Canada in 1786.

For a time St. Raphael's functioned as the administrative centre of the Roman Catholic Church in Upper Canada and today is recognized as the founding church for the Anglophone Catholics of the province.

Here is link from Cornwall's Community Museum regarding its history, its fire and a glimpse within it before it fell to fire:
