What contribution did the Quebecois missionary effort bring to the reception of Vatican II in Quebec? To answer that, this paper focuses on the experience of members of four missionary institutes founded in Quebec: the Missionnaires de l'lmmaculee-Conception, the Missionnaires de Notre-Dame des Anges, the Societe des Missions etrangeres du Quebec, and the Missionnaires du Christ-Roi, between 1945 and 1962. This paper analyses the missionaries' preconciliar experience of cultural and religious difference, and shows how it contributed to the emergence of a changing perspective on Christianity, the Church, and mission. Based on interviews conducted with missionaries, the institutes' archives, and secondary sources, this paper argues that parallels exist between shifts in the missionary field with respect to lay people, the local church, cultural and religious differences, and the way the Quebec Church prepared itself for Vatican II. Quelle fut la contribution des missionnaires quebecois a la reception de Vatican H au Quebec? Pour y repondre, cet article analyse I' experience des membres des quatre instituts missionnaires de fondation quebecoise: les Missionnaires de l'lmmaculee-Conception, les Missionnaires de NotreDame des Anges, la Societe des Missions etrangeres du Quebec et les Missionnaires du Christ-Roi, de 1945 a 1962. L'auteure montre comment le renouvellement des pratiques missionnaires, particulierement eu egard aux differences culturelles et religieuses, ont contribua a l'emergence d'une perspective differente sur le christianisme, l'Eglise et la mission. En mobilisant des entrevues menees aupres de missionnaires, des archives des instituts ainsi que les sources secondaires, cet article met en lumiere les similarites entre, d'une part, les changements operes au plan missionnaire au sujet des laics, de l'Eglise locale, des differences religieuses et culturelles et, d'autre part, la maniere dont l'Eglise quebecoise s'est preparee pour le concile Vatican II., The contribution of missionary institutes to the reception of Vatican II in Quebec remains largely unexplored.
