Ste. Thérèse
Roman Catholic Church Museum stands as a reminder of the dedication and
commitment of the early residents of Cardinal to their community. The
church was built in the style of Romanesque architecture with Gothic
detailing.
The Chapel contains a collection of religious artifacts which reflect
people’s dedication to the church. Family historians will have the
opportunity to research some of their heritage from the pictures and
information relating to Cardinal’s first writer Raymond Paget using the
pseudonym ”Le Petit Suisse” as well as the well-known author Gabrielle
Roy. Ms. Roy was a teacher at the school in Cardinal in 1929-1930.
The church reflects the hopes and dreams, as well as the
disappointments, of the people who worshipped here. Ste. Thérèse stands
as a reminder of the dedication and pride of the early settlers, and
with it comes a history which affirms their place in the world.
