Translated from the above noted text:

The Église-de-Saint-Bonaventure is an institutional complex of Catholic tradition built from the second part of the 19th century. It includes the church of Saint-Bonaventure, a monument of Christ the King as well as the cemetery including a mass grave and a Calvary. The church, erected around 1855, has a rectangular plan composed of a nave with three aisles, a transept and a narrower projecting chancel terminated by a flat apse. Its facade includes a central bell tower surmounted by a dome and terminated by a cross. The sacristy is grafted to the bedside as an extension of the choir. Rectangular in plan and topped with a roof with two straight slopes, it has a semi-circular annex arranged in the axis of the nave. The cemetery, delimited by a wooden fence, borders the north side of the church. The heritage site of the Église-de-Saint-Bonaventure faces the Baie des Chaleurs in the town of Bonaventure.
