This local Catholic Church was first constructed in 1855 on land owned by the Fraser family before being rebuilt in 1883 after a fire demolished parts of the church. The infrastructure was changed slightly but kept a lot of the neo-gothic elements of the original building. Of particular note is the steep bell tower that distinguishes the church from other establishments. Meanwhile, the church’s interior is adorned with an exquisite organ and has various statues, sculptures, and impressive paintings.
Since 2008, it has become a historical heritage site of great importance as it helped the town’s economic and geographic growth. It also has a lot of architectural and landscaping values, with its many eclectic elements and surrounding green spaces. Visitors can find a presbytery, convent, Sacred Heart monument, and an urban park near the church. Pastors offer many services to help fulfill the spiritual needs of community members and guests. Drop by the Saint-Patrice Church to witness part of the local heritage!
