In 1903, a group of Jesuits and lay people in Quebec adopted the Carillon-Sacré-Coeur as the national flag of French Canadians.

Le Carillon moderne, parfois nommé « drapeau de Filiatrault » ou plus simplement « drapeau de Carillon », est l'ancêtre du drapeau du Québec. Il s'en distingue par ses fleurs de lys pointant vers le centre plutôt que positionnées à la verticale. Conçu en 1902 par Elphège Filiatrault, il est très populaire durant la première moitié du xxe siècle. 

The modern Carillon, sometimes called the "Flag of Filiatrault" or more simply the "flag of Carillon", is the ancestor of the flag of Quebec. It is distinguished by its fleur-de-lys pointing towards the center rather than positioned vertically. Designed in 1902 by Elphège Filiatrault, it was very popular during the first half of the 20th century.

Le drapeau du Québec est « d’azur à la croix d’argent cantonnée de quatre fleurs de lys du même » et désigné sous le nom de « Fleurdelisé ». Le Jour du drapeau est le 21 janvier, date à laquelle en 1948 lui fut accordé le statut de « drapeau officiel du Québec » par le gouvernement Remarque : le drapeau français au xviiie siècle arborait la fleur de lys avant d'être modifié.

The first members of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society created the Carillon Sacré-Coeur flag, which consisted of a white cross on an azure background with a white fleur-de-lis in each corner and a Sacred Heart surrounded by maple leaves in the centre; it was based on the French merchant flag flown by Champlain and the Flag of Carillon. The Carillon Sacré-Coeur and the French merchant flag became significant inspirations for creating Quebec's current flag in 1903, called the Fleurdelisé. The Fleurdelisé replaced the Union Jack on Quebec's Parliament Building on January 21, 1948.

From Confederation until the First World War, the omnipresence of the Roman Catholic Church was at its peak. The objective of clerico-nationalists was to promote the values of traditional society: family, the French language, the Catholic Church and rural life. Also during this period, events such as the North-West Rebellion, the Manitoba Schools Question and Ontario's Regulation turned the promotion and defence of the rights of French Canadians into a critical concern. Under the aegis of the Catholic Church and the political action of Henri Bourassa, various symbols of national pride were developed, like the Flag of Carillon and "O Canada,"  a patriotic song composed for Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. Many organizations went on to consecrate the affirmation of the French-Canadian people, including the caisses populaires Desjardins in 1900, the Catholic Association of French-Canadian Youth, in 1904, the Club de hockey Canadien in 1909, Le Devoir in 1910, the Congrès de la langue française in 1912, L'Action catholique, in 1915, and L'Action nationale in 1917. In 1885, liberal and conservative MPs formed the Parti National out of anger with the previous government for not having interceded in the execution of Louis Riel.

Why did we have the Carillon Flag's story in the tribute to Archbishop Eric Michel?

Just because it is Eric Michel's favourite religious flag, even over the Christian Flag, it is posted here as a tribute of honour. The Carilon flag (Made in Quebec) is nowhere else on our sites except this page.
