Church of Sainte-Thècle
Place of worship. Erected from 1903 to 1905, the church of Sainte-Thècle is one of the most beautiful in the Mauricie, particularly for its interior layout (numerous religious paintings, lots of woodwork in the choir and a well-decorated vault) and its exterior fittings. This church has been administered since June 2018 by the Catholic parish of Saint-Coeur-de-Marie (formerly Fabrique of the Catholic parish of Sainte-Thècle).
Presbytery of Sainte-Thècle
Sainte-Thècle cemetery
Site of the Sainte-Thècle cemetery, located next to and behind the church. It features a magnificent Calvary, a Stations of the Cross carved in granite stone, a cement lion on a plinth and rustic funerary monuments. This cemetery has been administered since June 2018 by the Catholic parish of Saint-Coeur-de-Marie (formerly Fabrique of the Catholic parish of Sainte-Thècle).
Parc Saint-Jean Optimiste located on the shores of Lac Croche. Boat launch, beach, water games, playground, picnic area, kayak rental, recreation center, volleyball court. Ice available for free skating in winter. The Laurent Naud promenade runs along Lac Croche to rue Du Pont.
Tour to the Jesuit Lake
The Jesuit Lake offers a backdrop of mountains with steep cliffs and boreal forest. This area is a paradise for recreational and tourist activities including resorting, hunting and fishing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, rock climbing, etc. From the church of Sainte-Thècle, the 22 km (to the northern end of the lake) takes approximately 32 minutes, bypassing the lac de la Traverse and lake Aylwin. After about ten minutes (8 km), visitors first arrive at the dam at the mouth of the lake, ie at the southern end of the lake. Then the road bypasses the Jesuit lake to reach its northern end. The car tour can continue towards Saint-Joseph-de-Mékinac or go south by Chemin Joseph Saint-Amant to Route 159, connecting Saint-Tite and Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac.
Nautical activities (swimming, boat launching), children's play areas, picnic area, kiosk on the peninsula, and a community room.
