Open

Sites associated with religious heritage, including those from various traditions and those that have been adapted to serve new functions, are often little-known and difficult to access.

Educate

The Religious Heritage Days event offers the opportunity to discover various artistic, historical and architectural characteristics of Quebec's religious heritage.

Promote

One of the event’s objectives is to expand the visibility of religious heritage in order to raise awareness about its importance, richness, and diversity.
