In just a few days I found a job in a glove factory. After working at the glove factory for several days the factory closed for a week…Because of the Eucharistic Congress.
Most of the workers were Roman Catholics and Cardinal Vannutelli came from Italy to represent the Pope at this Congress.
Cardinal Vannutelli landed in Quebec City as he disembarked, the people kneeled before him and kissed his garments and his feet the Cardinal was some what moved at this display of emotion and exclaimed “gente cosi ignorante non ho mai veduto!”
Translation to English was “ People so ignorant, I have never seen.”

The Ship "Lady Gray" escorted by a fleet of steamers sailed to Canada with the Pope
"Crowds lined the shores of the St. Laurence (River) all the way from Quebec to Montreal."
