Description
edit
Built in 1925–27, it is very similar to Notre-Dame de Guadalupe Church in Montreal, also designed by Canadian architect Ernest Cormier.[2] The church is most notable for its particularly lavish interior, which features ceiling artwork by Jean Desauliers and stained glass windows by Mauméjean Frères of Paris.[3]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
