Thomas Moore (1779 - 1852) a well-known Irish poet visited Sainte Anne's in 1804.  He wrote a song "A Canadian Boat Song" in which were mentioned the bells of the little church.  Pilgrimages were later made by visitors to the province who wanted to visit the famous spot!

Faintly as tolls the evening chime,
Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time.
Soon as the wood on shore look dim,
We'll sing at Ste. Anne's our parting hymn.
Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast,
The rapids are near and the day-light's past !

Why should we yet our sail unfurl?
There is not a breath the blue wave to curl !
But when the wind blows off the shore,
Oh ! sweetly we'll rest our weary oar.
Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast,
The rapids are near, and the day-light's past !

Utawa's tide this trembling moon
Shall see us float over thy surges soon.
Saint of this green isle hear our prayers.
Oh ! grant us cool heavens and favoring airs.
Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast,
The rapids are near, and the day-light's past !
Thomas Moore
(1779 - 1852)
