Église de Bonaventure – one of the numerous Catholic Churches on the Gaspé Peninsula
The Bonaventure Church, listed in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Directory, was the fourth place of worship in the town. Built between 1855 and 1860 at the request of Bonaventure’s first parish priest, Father Jean-Louis Alain, it was designed with monumental dimensions for its time. Sadly, his grand vision was left incomplete when he passed away just three years after its construction ended. Still, the church outlived him and has seen many changes over the years. Quebec.
