Sainte-Anne de Beaupre Basilica

Sainte-Anne de Beaupre Basilica The Basilica's construction began in 1923, after a fire destroyed the first Basilica in March of 1922. This new construction was oriented towards the future, all the while remaining faithful to the past. There was need for a large church, and the local people wanted it to be beautiful so pilgrims would be proud of it.
