Église Sainte-Marie, Church Point, Nova Scotia

Église Sainte-Marie is a Catholic church in Church Point, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is one of the largest and tallest wooden buildings in North America. Built in the form of a cross, the church nave measures in length, with transepts that are across. The church spire rises from floor to steeple, with its cross adding another . Originally 15 feet taller, the church steeple was struck by lightning in 1914, requiring part of the spire to be rebuilt.
==History==
The first church built in the Church Point area, part of Nova Scotia's French Shore, was at Grosses Coques. Built in 1774, it was a rough chapel to serve the needs of Acadians returning from Massachusetts following the Great Upheaval, the deportation of the Acadians. A second chapel was built in 1786 on a point of land jutting into St. Mary's Bay, giving rise to the name "Church Point".
A third church was built following the arrival of Jean-Mandé Sigogne, the first resident priest. This church was built along the main road in the community, where the parish cemetery is now located, rather than on the point. It burned down in September 1820. It was rebuilt in a classical Georgian style, and served the community from 1829 to 1905, when the present church was opened.〔see Boudreau, Gérald C., ''Le père Sigogne et les Acadiens du sud-ouest de la Nouvelle-Écosse'', Montréal (Québec), Les Éditions Bellarmin, mai 1992, 230 p.〕
Construction on the present church began in 1903. Father Pierre-Marie Dagnaud, a Eudist Roman Catholic priest, was appointed the head of Collège Sainte-Anne in 1899, thereby becoming the parish priest of St. Mary's. He decided on the construction of a grand church, and hired Auguste Regneault of Rennes, France as his architect. The church was built by master carpenter Léo Melanson, with the assistance of 1500 parishioners.
