Journée des églises ouvertes

Le 3 juin 2012, franchissez le parvis!

Montreal

To mark the beginning of the summer season, the CPRQ has decided to join the activity created by the Foundation églises ouvertes, in Belgium, by inviting twenty places of worship to open their doors in Montreal on Sunday, June 3, 2012. Special activities will be held (guided tours, concerts, lectures, etc.) to promote the richness of this heritage, making it accessible to local communities, as well to the many tourists visiting the city.

You are invited to (re)discover the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours Chapel, Notre-Dame-de-la-Defense Church, the St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal, St. Andrew and St. Paul's Church, St. James United Church, St. Viateur of Outremont Church, the Sanctuary of the Blessed Sacrament, and many other places of worship.

Please note that the schedule and description of the activities offered in each location will be published on Friday, May 25.

This is an event not to be missed!
