Saint-Charles-Borromée
Saint-Charles-Borromée, Quebec (2021 Population 15,285) is a city in southwest-central Quebec, Canada, on the l'Assomption River. In Joliette Regional County Municipality, Saint-Charles-Borromée has the Maison Antoine-Lacombe, a heritage home that hosts many exhibits throughout the year. The town is also home to the Centre Saint-Jean-Bosco, which annually hosts the Mémoires et Racines Festival of folk music from various countries and Quebec. The town takes its name from its original Roman Catholic parish, Saint-Charles-Borromée, which was canonically established in 1683. The parish, in turn, is named after the French form of the name of an Italian Roman Catholic prelate, Charles Borromeo (1538–1584). He was the archbishop of Milan, founded a Roman Catholic order, the Oblates, and became a canonised saint in the Roman Catholic calendar.
