After the mass, there should be the unveiling of the plaque commemorating the fact that Michel Messier and Anne LeMoyne were buried in the basement of the church as promised in the agreement signed between Michel and the priest of Varennes, Claude Volant de Saint-Claude in 1718. The unveiling has been postponed because the plaque was not ready.
