Quebec is a beautiful place in so many ways from the amazing scenery of the Charlevoix region to the European beauty of Quebec City. Montreal offers a mix of urban beauty to famous festivals and events. While things may be different in the cities and regions across the Province there is one thing that is common throughout each town and that’s the churches.
Quebec is a very religious region with Catholic denomination being the main religion. The churches however are more than just a place to worship. They are the central focus of many the towns. They are a place to worship, reflect, network, and congregate. They offer fellowship and comfort for most people in small towns and it is a place that was visited on a daily basis by many. I remember as a kid having to go to church three times each week. That was the dedication of my parents and our hometown. Churches were simple in some towns and elaborate in others however they all had their beauty and served a common purpose.

Today many churches have disappeared. Some have been turned into restaurants, others have sat empty. Religion is still in Quebec but people have changed and don’t go to church as much as they used to. The churches that have been saved are historic in nature and many have been preserved for their beauty and heritage even if not used as much as in the past. Drive through any small town in the region and you will still see a church.
