On the main road of the Saint-Télesphore village, parishioners are returning home after Sunday mass.

The Saint-Télesphore church was built in 1882 from the plans of architects from the Poitras & Martin firm (Joseph Roch Poitras and Louis-Gustave Martin). The interior decoration was done by the painter specializing in sacred art at that time François Édouard Meloche (1855-1914) and his assistant Xénophon-Toussaint Renaud (1860-1946).
