Ste. Thérèse Roman Catholic Church was constructed in the late 1920s to serve the faithful in the Cardinal area. With its towering, slender spire, the church is a local landmark. It is also a fine example of Roman Catholic architectural traditions, which demanded a large, formal tower and spire, broad nave and an overall symmetry that recalled the classically inspired churches of France and Québec. In the 1990s the local community and la Société historique de Notre Dame de Lourdes undertook an ambitious restoration project, moving the building onto a new foundation and restoring exterior and interior woodwork.
