Saint Gabriel Church

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:10:53

This surprisingly grand church in the middle of the island has one of the largest congregations in the Port Louis diocese. Constructed between 1936 and 1939, it was built by local volunteers who arduously lugged stone, sand and coral from all corners of the island. Christianity is an integral part of life on the island – hundreds upon hundreds of Rodriguans gather here every Sunday.
