Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne

Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t kʁistin dovɛʁɲ]; Municipality), formerly Sainte-Catherine (Parish Municipality), is located along the banks of the Sainte-Anne River, in the Capitale-Nationale region, Portneuf RCM, Quebec, Canada.

[2] The municipality has 601 inhabitants (2019), on a territory of just over 145 km2, divided between logging and agricultural land development.

In 1893, the local mission was founded, named after Sister Sainte-Christine, born Clara Deschènes, who held a senior position at the Daughters of Charity in Quebec at that time.

[7] The town was also frequently called Sainte-Christine-de-l'Auvergne, Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, or Sainte-Christine-de-Portneuf in order to distinguish it from a namesake municipality in the Montérégie region.
