French missionary zeal in the 17th and 18th saw a number of imposing churches built here.
"The Sacred-Heart Church", situated on the south boulevard, stands out as an oriental specimen of gothic splendour. It contains rare and beautiful stained glass panels depicting saints and events from the life of Christ.
"The Immaculate Conception Cathedral", on the Cathedral Street, was first built in 1692. It took its present shape in 1791.
"Our Lady of Angels Church" is notable for its masonry and prayer mass are done in French, which makes this church quite unique.
