1901-1948
Religious life in Beauport
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.
