The monstrance is used to hold the host and present it to the faithful. Imported from Paris, this monstrance was intended to go to Trois-Rivières, but was given instead to the mission in its early days.   An inscription reveals that it was made in Paris in 1664 “for use in the church of the Jesuit fathers at the three rivers." Instead, the Jesuits redirected it to the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette mission. It is the oldest monstrance in Canada. Made of vermeil and embellished with stones set between the rays of sun.
