Built in 1930, the Saint-Zéphirin church is the work of architect Heldwige Laberge, who applied a mid-Renaissance, half-Roman style. In 1944, under the direction of parish priest Louis Caron, artist Albert Gilles carried out the interior decoration. Over a period of 14 years, he made the brass inside and was responsible for the stained glass windows made by Maison Maumejean in Paris. Entrance doors, adorned with embossed copper, weigh ½ ton each. In 1958, the factory repaired the facade of the church. Following the 1961 fire, marble was added to the walls and a mural by Walter Del Mistro. Stations of the Cross were made of embossed copper on a background of eggshells crushed into pieces. In 1962, the Parish Factory purchased a new organ from Casavant Frères limited in Saint-Hyacinthe. The organ has 4230 pipes. It is a French and neo-classical harmonization of 52 stops, with an electro-pneumatic type mechanism.
