St Boniface Cathedral
The order of the
Ursulines established their home in Quebec in the former
residence of Governor Claude de Ramesay in 1699. In 1715
the Ursuline community carried out the first expansion
of the monastery with the construction of the chapel and
the hospital. The chapel was inspired by Greek
architectural style.
The refectory was
built in 1752 but in 1806 it was destroyed by fire and
then rebuilt and used by the students until 1996.
The fresco on the arch represents the
struggle between good and evil, or a battle between
Archangel Saint Michael and Lucifer. The frescoes that
decorate the dome are the work of the Italian artist
Luigi Capello.
The nuns have worked
hard since 1997 to restore the chapel to the glory of
previous times.
