In the early 20th century, Quebec was one of the places in the world where the Catholic Church had the greatest influence. The lives of local people—especially the French-speaking community—were organized around Catholic rites. These included daily prayers, reciting the rosary, obligatory confessions and a busy calendar of liturgical celebrations. During this period, many monumental churches were also built in parishes across Quebec. The members of the Société d’art et d’histoire de Beauport invite you to discover what this period in history was like in their region.

This image shows the exterior facade of Beauport’s fourth church, built in 1890 and destroyed by fire in 1916. The fire occurred two years after the interior decoration had been completed. A new church was soon erected from the damaged walls. This final building takes up the neo-Gothic vocabulary of its predecessor but without the tall spires of the bell towers.
