Using the important monuments of the Catholic Church as a model (remember his wish to reproduce St. Peter's in Rome for the basilica-cathedral of Marie-Reine-du-Monde) the bishop would play a part in diversifying the stylistic approach to religious architecture by returning to the formal vocabulary of the Renaissance, more particularly in its baroque development.
The church is built of the grey stone of Montréal and is in conformity with the typical tendencies of the second half of the 19th century.

The saint is carried heavenwards by a group of music-making, flower-strewing angels that are inebriated with joy.
The body of the saint and the angels are not transcended by light, but are sculpturally tangible, and in its earthly corporeality, the painting mediates between the world of the spectator and the light whose source remains invisible to us, but which is perceptible in the figure of the saint.
