Important information for a pilgrimage in Quebec City

For pilgrim groups of more than 10 people, we will be happy to help you organize your pilgrimage in Old Quebec. Later on, our team will welcome you with open arms at the set meeting point of your pilgrimage day and will take you to the centers. Register your group now with the form below.

The pilgrimage in Old Quebec includes a presentation of the life and spirituality of each great character, prayer time at their tombs and a brief historical explanation of each historical site. Upon reservation, Mass and confession may be added to your itinerary.

We do not offer guided tours of these sites, but you can visit them by yourself or during a Quebec City guided tour (see opening hours of each Center).

While walking through Old Quebec, in the heart of North America’s history, your group will go on a spiritual journey on the footsteps of our saint founders.

Practical information

The group must provide a cellphone number to the coordinator of the pilgrimage, so that once they are in Quebec the group is reachable. The group will be given the cellphone number of the chaperone to reach him if necessary.

During the preparation of the pilgrimage, all communications must be held between the group’s coordinator and the local coordinator in order to avoid organizational problems.

The pilgrimage

A chaperone will accompany the group from the starting point until the end of the pilgrimage. The chaperone’s duty will be to direct the group between the places of the pilgrimage and to make sure the schedule is respected; which is an important element of the pilgrimage.

At each stop of your itinerary, a Center representative will take charge of the group.

The organization of a pilgrimage excludes all touristic elements, even if some of those elements are found in the places of the pilgrimages.

Each year, a theme will be suggested to the groups (each theme is used from the beginning of May to the end of April of the following year). The suggested theme allows a continuity in the pilgrimage regardless of the number of stops and places.

The pilgrimage can be held in French or English (Spanish in some sites). Please specify in the form.
