“Paroisse Sainte-Rose-de-Lima was established to serve the rapidly growing parish community. By 1740, the creation of the parish of Ste-Rose was authorized. Between 1769 & 1780, a conflict between the parishioners and the Bishop interrupted worship. After disputes, peace returned, and the second church was erected in the bay area. By 1788, the parish's expansion required the priest to start the construction of the current church. After years of service, by 1974, the church was recognized as "Cultural Property." Recognized as "cultural property" on December 27, 1974, by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, they hope you will appreciate the accuracy of its proportions, the simplicity of its lines, and the great value of the elements from the second church! Paroisse Sainte-Rose-de-Lima has served the community for over two centuries and is an iconic architectural achievement.”

“Paroisse St-Vincent-de-Paul's first roots of the parish of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul were planted on March 16, 1740, through a request from Intendant Gilles Hocquart, who ordered the foundation of two new parishes on Île Jésus. Paroisse St-Vincent-de-Paul is located on Jesus Island. In 1743, Bishop Pontbriand founded the church parish. By 1744, the church was built at the hillside's foot and used for worship for over a hundred years. After years, by 1853, a convent and the Laval College were built. The walls of the long sections and the apse are in fieldstone, and the facade is in dressed stone. The building is overlooked by two proud and slender bell towers that can be seen in the distance. The interior in the Romanesque style is large and spacious, and its columns present a pretty appearance.”

“Holy Name Of Jesus's primary aim of Faith First is to guide children to know Jesus, grow in their relationship with Him, and go into the community to joyfully serve their Lord. By 1965, the English-speaking faithful began ministering, and within a year, the celebration of mass was started. By 1967, a property was bought, and work on building the church started. After a long time, with generous help and donations, the first mass was celebrated in 1969. Over the years, many pastors and fathers have served the church with dedicated services. The church still serves with the same warm and welcoming ambience, which visitors have become fond of, and they continue to attend masses every week.”
