Monument de l'évêque Ignace Bourget

The Ignace Bourget Monument stands in front of Mary Queen of the World Cathedral in Montreal and honors the city's bishop. The work of sculptor Louis-Philippe Hébert was officially unveiled on June 24, 1903. It commemorates the construction of the cathedral, which was built as a replica of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The monument includes two allegorical statues representing Religion and Charity, as well as a bas-relief showing the bishop planning the building. The monument was funded by joint contributions from the clergy and the faithful.
