In 1971, a new church was erected and a new design
was chosen to reflect the reality of the Anishnabe inhabitants and Catholic
spirituality. This church is called in Manitoulin island the “round church”. The “round church” of M’Chigeeng (former West Bay) shows the coming together of the community, much as elders would come together for a council circle, or as people would gather in a sweat lodge.
