Description

Montréal’s Religious Heritage: The South Shore, a digital chapter taken from the guide Discovering Montréal’s Religious Heritage, is your invitation to discover all the diversity and beauty of the religious heritage of Montréal and its environs. In full colour and lavishly illustrated with magnificent photos, this one-of-a-kind guidebook reveals the secrets of an exceptionally rich heritage unequalled anywhere else in North America.
This tour of five places of worship on the South Shore starts with a visit to an Indigenous community, the Mohawk First Nation of Kahnawake, home to an 18th-century Jesuit mission and the Shrine of St. Kateri Tekakwitha. You’ll continue through this region, rich in history and architecture, discovering its religious heritage. First comes Longueuil, with its Co-Cathedral of Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue and the Centre Marie-Rose, which incorporates the mother house of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. In Boucherville, you’ll visit the Église Sainte-Famille, and finish in Varennes, at the Sanctuaire Sainte-Marguerite-d’Youville.
Conceived for pilgrims whose journeys are prompted by their faith as well as those drawn by art, architecture, and history, Montréal’s Religious Heritage: The South Shore shines a light on Montréal’s rich religious heritage, both ancient and modern. It also spotlights successfully converted religious buildings that have been given a new lease on life.
