Historical Summary
Our Lady of the Cape Shrine is Canada’s National Shrine to Our Blessed Mother. It is located at Trois-Rivières, in the district of Cap-de- la-Madeleine, half-way between Montreal and Quebec City. The very first church of Cap-de- la-Madeleine was a small wooden structure built in 1659. Father Paul Vachon, its first resident pastor, instituted the Brotherhood of the Rosary in 1694. In 1714 began the construction of the second parish church that was opened for worship in 1720, replacing the first small wooden church. This second church, presently called the Old Shrine, and made with fieldstones, is still the oldest church in Canada in which Mass is celebrated daily.

MONTREAL Bloc Quebecois revenue critic Luc Desilets is joining the chorus of those urging Justin Trudeau s Liberal government to follow Quebec s lead and extend the deadline to file tax returns to May 31. The Bloc Quebecois is calling on the Revenue Agency to do the same, otherwise Quebec s relaxation measure will fall flat on its face, said BQ press secretary Julien Coulombe-Bonnafous in a news release. Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs) in Quebec and other provinces are among those most affected by the CRA s inflexibility on this issue. Their work is further disrupted by the plethora of pandemic-specific benefits and grants.
