Description: Text transcribed from caption: PADRES OF CANADA’S NEWEST KLONDIKE #1514 YELLOWKNIFE, NWT, CANADA -- Posed outside his small wooden church is bearded Father A. M. Gatty, O.M.I., who came from Belgium in 1939 to become spiritual adviser to this tiny outpost where the cry of “gold” is attracting thousands of prospectors and adventurers to Canada’s newest boomtown.
