This book is the first in the series. This volume contains one hundred and seventy-five articles numbered from 1-175. They were written from June 2002 to October of 2005. At its inception, articles did not appear weekly for the first few months. For a total of eight weeks, the newspaper featured other writers or omitted the section. For continuity, numbering of weeks was maintained and is listed in the chronological index. In this volume, Father St-Godard begins his writings about the history of local churches and their congregations. Among such, he discusses ecumenism and the diversity of worship throughout the state.
