Msgr. Myrand’s altar was recently returned to its original location in the West transept. Modified and moved to the niche on the Epistle side of the sanctuary in 1967 during the renovations to the church’s interior, the altar was gifted to St. Anne by Msgr. Myrand in 1945. Granted special dispensation by Archbishop Alexandre Vachon, Msgr. Myrand,  parish priest at St. Anne from 1903 until his death in 1949, consecrated the altar and dedicated it to Our Lady of Deliverance of the Souls in Purgatory in the days following Easter Sunday 1945. At his death four years later Msgr. Myrand  was buried beneath the floor where his altar is once again located.

In addition to re-locating the altar to its original location, work has begun to prepare the niche on the Gospel side of the sanctuary to receive St. Joseph’s altar, the third of the parish’s Precious Blood Altars. At the same time installation of the marble baptistery font in the East transept will be undertaken.
