The pilgrimage
Why this road exists
St. Anne is the saint of the family, of miners, of those who wait. You go for people whose names you carry.
How the days are spent
One of the oldest pilgrimage sites in North America, still working.
Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
The grandmother of the Lord, loved by French Canada for 350 years. A basilica of crutches and healings, on the river, where sailors and farmers asked the same woman for the same help.
