Sainte-Angélique Catholic Church was built in 1902-1903 according to the plans of Casimir St-Jean, a Montreal architect who was inspired by classical Romanesque forms. The Church is adorned with paintings from Toussaint-Xénophon Renaud, responsible also for the stained glass and the overall decoration of the church. The artist Joseph St-Charles did the painting representing the four Evangelists and of the Eternal Father on the church vault. The paintings of Mary and Joseph at the lateral altars and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane at the high altar were created by St-Charles. The church was restored in 1996 thanks to the Conseil du patrimoine religieux du Québec and the generosity of the local community.
