Its area: 135 feet long by 63 feet wide and 30 feet high. The church has a sacristy 44 feet long and 36 feet wide.

On December 22, 1874, Bishop Laflèche came to bless this beautiful church. In 1918, the church was electrified at a cost of $2,559.65.

In the bell tower, 190 feet high, covered with tin, are installed 4 bells blessed in 1882, with the notes fa-sol-la. Their weight is 5250 pounds. They were electrified in 1946.
