5310 ch. Chambly, Saint-Hubert, Quebec
This small church is one of the oldest on the south shore of Montreal. The exterior is built of stone and masonry and the interior is handcrafted wood. The architect was Victor Bourgeau and construction began in May of 1858. Blessed on January 9, 1859 by Monseigneur Ignace Bourget the Archbishop of Montreal, the church was completed on the 15th of October 1862. The first mass was celebrated on October 28th 1862. When visiting my mother and her parish I have often marvelled at the craftsmanship in this fine church and wonder if these woodworking skills have been lost over time.
