"Pierre de Lestage built the first Catholic church of Berthier, about 1723, and obtained on Dec. 3, 1732, from Governor Beauharnois and Intendant Hocquart, a great addition to his Seigniory because, as is said in the deed: 'he was worth of it.'"
He also improved the highways and built at Berthier a saw mill, a grist mill and a fine mansion for himself with a grand avenue leading thereto, which still exists.

Her bones were moved twice, once in 1830, then again in 1866 to the cemetery at Cote des Neiges.
