For the June 1938 National Eucharistic Congress, Battlefields Park was enhanced with an altar of repose. This major event was organized by Cardinal Jean-Marie-Rodrigue Villeneuve, Archbishop of Québec and Primate of the Canadian Church. On June 23, a high mass was said at night at the altar of repose, attracting a large crowd of worshippers.
