Description
The village of Rockport, Ontario, was first settled in 1797, chiefly by Scottish & Irish immigrants of Catholic & Presbyterian faiths. Where Rockport is now situated, there was a natural harbour marked by a huge, lichen-covered rock outcropping. In 1891,St. Brendan�s Catholic Church was erected on the top of this rock, overlooking the St. Lawrence River, . Upon this site, in 1919, Mrs. L. Cornwall commissioned a monument, the �Queen of Peace� and dedicted it to her late husband, Charles Cornwall, who owned the property. St. Brendan�s Catholic Church & the �Queen of Peace� remain a much loved local landmark within the 1000 Islands of the St. Lawrence River.
