		This dark, angular, squarish building is the Cathedral of Christ the King, seat of the Diocese of Gasp, an area that embraces most of the province's Gasp Peninsula.
		Gasp is a place of mixed faith and history, thus the massive 42 ton, 10 metre high grey granite cross on the cathedral grounds is meant to recall the cross planted near the city by Cartier, the symbol of his Christian faith and memento of the crucifixion.
		The story of the cathedral began almost 500 years ago when St. Malo explorer Jacques Cartier landed near here on July 24, 1534, claimed the land for the king of France and planted a cross as a symbol of his Christian faith.
