St.-Eustache

Easter Masses that were supposed to take place at Notre Dame have been moved to the nearby Church of St. Eustache.

One autumn morning, racked with homesickness, I strolled toward Les Halles and stood in the shadow of the St.-Eustache church.

One side faces a focused panorama of sky, the soaring 16th-century St.-Eustache church and the circular Bourse de Commerce — a planned garden between them is still under construction.

I heard sermons at Notre Dame—at St. Roch—at 51 St. Eustache; but never was a search after talent attended with worse success.

If he thought of his home in France and the glorious Easter anthems he had heard at St. Eustache and Notre Dame, it was not with vain regret, but only with the calm assurance that if his friends across the sea could hear these Indians singing in their forest chapel and could see the face of this Mohawk girl lit up with the joy of her baptism, they would not feel that he was throwing away his life and talents among barbarian tribes.
