darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2428 Posts	Posted 11/24/2014 7:21 pm Can anyone offer a little help with this medallion. It was given to me a few years ago and is a little larger than a nickel dollar, gold in colour and weighs 5.16 gram. Thanks/Merci !

wazzappenning Valued Member Canada 329 Posts	Posted 11/24/2014 7:42 pm it is canada s largest church. just google it. the stairs, (i dont know how many, but lots) people used to climb them on their knees to beg forgiveness or have their prayers answered? there is one of the priests heart on display, to protect the church? anyways my guess,(since its a tourist spot), is that you could buy these as a souvenir when visiting the church.
