Église Saint-Simon - Abercorn, Québec - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Cette église catholique romaine est située sur la rue des Églises Ouest à Abercorn, Québec.

Construite en 1865 pour une congrégation anglicane selon les plans des architectes Lawford et Nelson, l'église Saint-Simon est le premier lieu de culte érigé dans le village d'Abercorn. Située à l'écart des premiers bâtiments du village, l'église est caractéristique des implantations de tradition anglophone.

Vers 1924, la communauté anglicane transfert son église dans l'ancienne "Abercorn Union Church", après le départ des Méthodistes. Les fidèles catholiques du village qui sont de plus en plus nombreux font alors l'acquisition de cette église, puis l'aménagent selon leur confession religieuse. La paroisse de Saint-Simon est crée en 1941.

En novembre 2020, l'église Saint-Simona été désacralisée et la paroisse a été fusionnée avec celle de Saint-André à Sutton. En janvier 2021, l’église a été officiellement vendue. Les nouveaux propriétaires veulent revitaliser ce joyau afin qu’il puisse poursuivre son œuvre dans la communauté.

Abercorn est un village de la municipalité régionale de comté Brome-Missisquoi dans la région de l'Estrie au Québec, Canada.

This Roman Catholic church is located on rue des Églises Ouest in Abercorn, Quebec.

Built in 1865 for an Anglican congregation to designs by architects Lawford and Nelson, St. Simon's Church was the first place of worship erected in the village of Abercorn. Located away from the first buildings of the village, the church is characteristic of settlements with an English-speaking tradition.

Around 1924, the Anglican community transferred its church to the old Abercorn Union Church, after the departure of the Methodists. The Catholic faithfuls of the village, who were more and more numerous, acquired this church and arranged it according to their religious confession. The parish of Saint-Simon was created in 1941.

In November 2020, the church was deconsecrated and the parish was merged with that of Saint-André in Sutton. In January 2021, St Simon's Church, Abercorn, was officially sold. The new owners want to revitalize this gem so that it can continue its work in the community.

Abercorn is a village in the Brome-Missisquoi regional county municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada.
