St James' Anglican Church is situated at 802 Rue des Ursulines, Trois-Rivières. It was founded in about 1700 as the Couvent des Récollets. The Récollets were a French reform branch of the Franciscans and their order became established in New France during the 17th century. But the Récollets did not endure in Québec Province and, after the death in 1776 of the last member of the its Trois-Rivières branch, the convent was converted into the Anglican church and dedicated to St James. It is the oldest Anglican parish in Québec province.
