The interior decoration was entrusted in 1921 to Montreal artists Alexander Carli and Nicholas Petrucci who enjoyed an excellent reputation for statuary. In addition to the stone and marble high altar, they also made both side altars, the balustrade of the choir, the Stations of the Cross in stone from Caen coated with plaster, and above the frieze, the statues of the Twelve Apostles.
The most spectacular work of Carli Petrucci is unquestionably the monumental frieze ofThe Apotheosis of the Virgin Mary, installed in 1927. It presents 27 paintings depicting the life of the Blessed Virgin, religious institutions and the bishops of Montreal as well as the founders of this city.
The frieze contains depictions of 320 people, life size, made of plaster or marble dust dissolved in the adhesive. Its dimensions are impressive: it measures 2.14 meters high and spans the entire perimeter of the church, just below the ceiling.Devoted to the Virgin, the 14 windows, made in 1964-1965, are the work of the master Guido Nincheri.
