 The community of Tignish is home for Prince Edward Island's largest Neo-Gothic church.
St. Simon and St. Jude Catholic Church was built in 1860 and is constructed of locally made red brick.
The church has cathedral ceilings, spectacular icons, and is beautifully landscaped. Adjacent to the St. Simon & St. Jude is the Tignish Heritage Inn that was once a convent for the parish. Its interior has been altered to accommodate

guests in large, exotic spacious rooms along with breakfast facilities. The inn, as well, can accommodate family
reunions, groups and conferences.
 The church contains one of the first Tracker pipe organs in North
America which was constructed on 1882 by Louis Mitchell. Organ tours may be arranged by phoning the church organist, J. Henri Gaudet at (902) 882 - 2488. Summer organ recitals given by noted organists are held during July & August.
