History of Saint-Jérôme, Québec, Canada

It was in 1834 that Monsignor Signay, Bishop of Quebec, canonically erected the parish of Saint-Jérôme de la rivière du Nord.
The small village thus saw the light of day under the patronymic of Saint Jerome, the one to whom we owe the first official translation of the Bible, from the Hebrew language to the Latin language.
