It is now situated on Louis Fréchette next to St. Charles Garnier College (French: Collège Saint-Charles-Garnier) The original Jesuit college in Quebec (which the Jesuit Chapel was originally part of) was seized by British forces in 1776.

Edward Désy bought Teviot House on Chemin Sainte-Foy and turned it into Villa Manresa.

[4] With the influx of people in what was previously a rural area, a new chapel was built next to Villa Manresa between 1893 and 1895.

[5] The street names in the Sainte-Foy area refer to previous locations of Villa Manresa.

In 1976, the Villa Manresa became the Ignatian Spirituality Centre and moved from Parc des Braves to Rue Nicolas Pinel, next to Cégep de Sainte-Foy, to the north of the main campus of Laval University.

In 2009, the centre moved from Rue Nicolas Pinel to a former Jesuit residence next to St. Charles Garnier College.

[6] The centre is named after the city of Manresa in Spain, where the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius of Loyola stayed in solitude for a year.
