The church can be found near the port in the village of Miquelon, on the island of the same name. It is constructed entirely from wood and rectangular in shape, with a gable roof and a steeple above the façade.

The building was constructed between 1862 and 1865 to replace the first church in the archipelago, which was in disrepair. Inaugurated in 1865, the church is named in honor of Father Ardilliers and his sister, a nun at Notre-Dame-des-Ardilliers in Saumur, who had collected the funds needed to build the first church in Miquelon.
