Saint-Michel Basilica-Cathedral (
St. Michael located in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. The church is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sherbrooke. The basilica was decreed on July 31, 1959.[1]
The lower-half of the cathedral was constructed from 1914 to 1917. A lack of funds resulted in a thirty-nine year pause in construction. The completion of the upper-half of the cathedral was in 1956 to 1957.
The cathedral was designed by architect Louis-Napoleon Audet,[2] in Gothic style. Mr Audet was the architect for both phases of construction. The large window of the façade depicts the four Evangelists.[3] The Cathedral of St Michael has 105 stained-glass windows crafted by Rafaël Lardeur of Paris.
The archbishop's chapel was painted by Ozias Leduc.[4]
