The parish of St-Nazaire celebrated their 100th anniversary last year and on April 25, 2018, Archbishop Christian Lépine visited the parish for its consecration.

Our Archbishop quickly felt the anointing at the altar shortly after the blessing, in the center and at the four angles, the Saint Chrême (a scented oil blessed by the Bishop, which is also use for baptisms, confirmations and ordinations.) The altar is the sign of the presence of Christ. (The word “Christ”” means: the anointed one). (Photo: Dominic Richer, priest)
