Saint-Grégoire

Saint-Grégoire is an administrative sector in Bécancour that features a historic church building with white exterior walls and a distinctive tall silver spire. The sector sits within the broader urban layout of Bécancour and serves as a residential and community area for the region.

The sector originated from Acadian settlers who arrived in 1755 from Beaubassin and established the village of Sainte-Marguerite, which eventually became known as Saint-Grégoire. The church building was constructed in the early 1800s following the formal establishment of the parish.

The Roman Catholic church of Saint-Grégoire serves the French-speaking population through religious ceremonies, masses, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The sector connects to major transportation routes including Autoroute 55, Autoroute 30, and Route 132, providing convenient access for residents and visitors. The good road connections make it straightforward to reach from different directions in the region.

The church building was designated as a heritage property in 1957, marking its significance as an important historical landmark. Its white facade and silver spire make it a visual landmark visible from various parts of the sector.
