St. James the Apostle


The steps at St. James the Apostle, a church on St. Catherine Street in Montreal, has long been a perch for people from all walks.  A vivid memory for me was walking past the steps many, many years ago - noticing two guys side by side with their bottles in bags.  The older one had clearly been on the street for a while, while the younger one, around my age, was new to it all - still looking healthy, and well kept.  I still remember being struck by the thought of "what brought this young guy to this sad turning point"? - the start of many hard days ahead.
