Good to see. And they will have transcriptions which should make viewing and searching easier. But beware of transcriptions as they can be wrong. But definitely a help

While the images are not available on FamilySearch, it is possible to find them on the NLI if you know the parish and date. So this collection is very helpful. Hopefully it will grow. Catholic Parish Records at NLI
