Paroisse Catholique Saint-Francois-Xavier is more than a century-old church. The church was built in 1787 in the shape of a Latin cross. This beautiful monument faces the St. Lawrence River and is located at the heart of the old village of Verchères.

It is a sight to see while you’re in town. It is interesting to explore the church and its surrounding area by following the Heritage Circuit, as you will see the park, old presbytery and many old houses. Plus, learn of the church’s history.
