CHURCH OF NOTRE DAME DE LORETTE The Huron settlement at Jeune-Lorette was established in 1697, marking the final stage of a long, arduous migration of the Huron nation. The existing church was rebuilt in 1865 on the walls of an older church, the second of the mission, which is believed to date to 1730 and which was used as a model for the present structure. The external simplicity of the church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and the austerity of its interior design are typical of mission churches. This building contains objects of great artistic value, some dating back to the 17th century.

ÉGLISE NOTRE DAME DE LORETTE L'établissement des Hurons à la Jeune-Lorette remonte à 1697. La création de cette mission jésuite marquait la dernière étape d'une longue et éprouvante migration de la Nation huronne. L'église actuelle fut reconstruite en 1865 sur les murs de l'ancienne église, la deuxième de la mission, qui daterait de 1730 et dont on aurait repris le modèle. Par sa simplicité extérieure et sa sobriété intérieure, l'église Notre-Dame-de-Lorette représente bien les églises de mission. Elle renferme des oeuvres d'art de grande valeur, dont certaines remontent au XVIIe siècle.
