MONTREAL'S RELIGIOUS HERITAGE SITES
Discover Montreal's Religious Heritage: It's Also Our History! Launching of the second annual contest organized by Montreal's Religious Heritage Sites. Seven Montreal institutions unite to invite the public to visit some of the city's religious heritage sites and learn about their own past. More than 350 years of history is revealed at seven different sites. Along the way visitors can admire architectural gems, listen to touching stories and discover the unknown builders of Montreal. (Each visit to one of the 7 sites gives the visitor a chance to enter a draw for a gift basket. The contest ends Dec. 1, 2010. The drawing will take place during that month.)
The Religious Sites are:
Sisters of Saint Anne Historic Centre
Misericordia Sisters Museum –
Émilie-Gamelin Centre, Sisters of Providence Museum
Maison de Mère d’Youville
Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel - Marguerite-Bourgeoys Museum
