Description of Property-Tres-Sainte-Trinite Church, 2184 Laurier Street
The Tres-Sainte-Trinite Church is located on the North side of Laurier Street and on the
East side of St-Jean Street.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest:
The church provides us with typical roman style architecture. It is located in a prime location in downtown Rockland. The exterior walls are also made of grey stones from the Rockland's quarry. The bell-tower is home for 5 bells (do, fa, sol, la, do) that were casted from the Paccard foundries located in Annecy-Le-Vieux in Haute Savoie, France.
In 1917, the community, with the guidance of priest Hudon, began the task of rebuilding the church. The church is home to a Casavant organ with extraordinary acoustics. The church is an ideal location for music concerts.
The interior decor of the buildings was commissioned to well reputed artisans such as T.-X. Renaud and Georges Delfosse, artists and decorators; Carli - Petrucci, sculptors; Joseph Villeneuve, woodworker, and Hamon & Hess, marbles and tiles. The building and its contents are considered religious heritage gems for the municipality.
