It was painted in 1925 by Sister Mary of the Eucharist, a Sister of Charity of Québec, to replace the 18th-century painting destroyed during a fire at the cathedral in 1922. In 1664, Bishop François de Laval designated the cathedral as the first parish church of Québec and named it Notre-Dame de l'Immaculèe Conception (Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception). At the time, the Diocese of Québec encompassed all the North American possessions of France, from the Atlantic Coast in Canada to the plains of the far West, plus the Mississippi Valley and Louisiana territories — an area far larger than all of Europe. The cathedral celebrates its 350th anniversary in 2014. A jubilee year will run from Dec. 8, 2013, to Dec. 28, 2014, to mark the cathedral's historic status as the first parish and first cathedral of Canada, and its role as the mother church to all parishes in Canada and the United States. The Arizona Rosary Celebration is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations may be tax deductible.
