Church of Nativité-de-la-Sainte-Vierge-d'Hochelaga

The same year, Father Georges-Marie LePailleur rebuilt the parish church on the same site, using the facade and the bell tower that had been recovered.

He asked Dalbé Viau and Alphonse Venne, the same architects who designed Saint Joseph's Oratory, to perform the reconstruction.

The interior decoration was entrusted in 1921 to Montreal artists Alexander Carli and Nicholas Petrucci who enjoyed an excellent reputation for statuary.

It presents 27 paintings depicting the life of the Blessed Virgin, religious institutions and the bishops of Montreal as well as the founders of this city.

The frieze contains depictions of 320 people, life size, made of plaster or marble dust dissolved in the adhesive.
