La petite église, que les francophones du Québec appellent “mitaine”*, une adaptation peu orthodoxe de l’anglais “meeting house”, fait toujours partie du décor de la rue Beckler, jadis la “rue des Anglais”, à La Tuque, où ne survivent que quelques édifices anciens. Heureusement! Je serais curieux de savoir combien de fidèles la fréquentent aujourd’hui, tandis que les temples catholiques sont désertés et même vendus dans certaines localités.

* Littéralement ” : “mitten” !

Translation:
This small church that the French speaking people call “mitaine / mitten” , an adaptation of the English “meeting house”, is still there on Beckler Street, also called “the English’s street” at LaTuque, where only a few of the ancient buildings survive. I would be happy to know how many faithfuls still attend services at this church, while the Catholique churches are deserted and even some were sold in certain localities.
