About us
Our Lady of the Cape Shrine in Trois-Rivières has been a place of pilgrimage and prayer since 1888. Opened in 1964, the monumental basilica contains two treasures: the Casavant organ, consisting of 5,425 pipes, and the stained glass windows by Father Jan Tillemans, a Dutch Oblate and master artisan. The Old Shrine is another jewel. Used for worship starting in 1720, this religious building is considered the oldest preserved stone church in Canada. The site dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was visited by Pope John Paul in September 1984, is also worth visiting for its shady gardens and unparalleled view of the Saint Lawrence River. The perfect place to renew yourself!
