Precious Blood Roman Catholic Church, Catholic church in St. Boniface, Canada
The spiral cedar shake roof of the Precious Blood Church rises 85 feet high, culminating in a stained glass window above the main sanctuary.
The parish establishment began in 1944 when Abbé Edmond Lavoie organized French-speaking families in southern Winnipeg to form a new congregation.
The church architecture incorporates elements of Plains Indigenous design, with a roof structure reflecting the form of traditional tipis of the Métis community.
The building contains 525 wooden seats arranged in a semicircle around the altar, following guidelines from the Second Vatican Council for increased participation.
Twenty-five laminated fir beams, each extending 30 meters in length, support the undulating roof structure that defines the church's exterior form.
