Founding artist Albert Gilles has decorated more than 35 churches across North America. He is listed on the website of the Ministry of Culture, for all his works with religious heritage and patrimony. Master craftsman, he beautified churches by creating doors, baptismal funds, stations of the cross, high altars, communion rails and tabernacles.
His talent was recognized by Pope Pie XII, who commissioned him to create a silver and gold chalice, offered to the City of Montreal for its 300 years in 1942. Today his family perpetuates the tradition.
