The baptistry and images of faith
The baptistry at Sainte-Amélie is presented alongside comparative works by Nincheri created in Montréal and Verdun.

The baptistry and its stained glass are at Sainte-Amélie. The depiction of God in the baptistry at Saint-Viateur-d’Outremont in Montréal is a comparative work. The Christ the King panel, painted at Sainte-Amélie in 1943, echoes the feast established by Pius XI in 1925.
The vision of Marguerite-Marie Alacoque is another work by Nincheri, created for Toronto’s Sacred Heart Church in 1937. These examples are identified by location so they are not confused with the decoration in Baie-Comeau.

Above the choir, the Trinity vault places the Nativity and Resurrection beneath polychrome rays. This composition connects light, stained glass, and painted scenes.
