Our Lady of Victory Inuvik Northwest Territories Postcard

This postcard features theOur Lady of Victory (igloo-shaped church), Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. According to Wikipedia, " It serves a Catholic parish of the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith. It was established in the mid-1950s, around the time Inuvik was being built; the church was opened and consecrated in 1960 after two years of construction. It is the only major building in Inuvik that does not rest on pilings. Today the church is the town's best-known landmark and its most-photographed building. At Christmas the church holds a concert where carols are sung in the local First Nations language of Gwich'in and the Inuvialuktun dialect of Inuktitut, the Inuit language, as well as English. In recent years a choir made up of Filipino immigrants to the area has joined in, singing in Tagalog." Photo credit: Adam Jones, 2013.
