To discover, see and do...
The Purification-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie church was declared a historic monument on March 23, 1978 – exactly 300 years after the Seigniory’s first church was built, to the west of Repentigny, on the seigniorial estate. A wooden church was first erected on the current site in 1703, followed by a stone church dating from 1723; today’s church stands atop the remains of the second church.
This is the oldest church in the Montreal diocese. Its cemetery, like those of churches on the Île d'Orléans and only a few other churches in Quebec, adjoins the church.
A fire on October 12, 1984, damaged the interior, but most of the decorations were saved.
Despite the damage caused by the fire, and in view of its long history, the Repentigny church remains one of the finest in the Montreal diocese.
