The Cultural Centre Robert-Martel (CCRM) is organizing an evening at the Sainte-Pétronille church to honour the friendship between Belgium and Quebec. On April 11th at 7.30pm, come and listen to Jacques Hellemans, librarian and professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, and Gilles Gallichan, historian, and former librarian of the Quebec National Assembly.
They will be talking respectively about the Belgian counterfeits that circulated in Quebec in the 19th century, giving the population access to French-language literature, and about the Belgian priest Joseph-Pascal Verbist, who helped build the church of Sainte-Pétronille and founded its parish. The counterfeits will be on display to the public, along with some of Verbist's publications.
