"L'église de la paroisse de L'Ange-Gardien, érigée canoniquement en 1861, est l'oeuvre de l'architecte Cyrias Ouellet. Sa construction, entamée en 1872, s'est terminée deux ans plus tard, l'église ayant d'ailleurs été bénie le 5 avril 1874 en présence des marguilliers et paroissiens. L'ornementation intérieure de l'édifice s'est poursuivie jusqu'au milieu de la décennie 1880, mais a complètement été modifiée au cours des années 1950 et 1960."
