The Relic was purported to have brought about miracle cures, causing Marquis to extend his stay by several weeks, in order to accommodate the great streams of pilgrims that continued to visit the Church. Eventually, after his return to Quebec and with the permission of Cardinal Taschereau, the Relic was split and Marquis returned to the Church with the fragment in July. The Shrine of St. Anne was initially in the Lower Church of the first edifice, then moved to the Lower Church of the current edifice, before finally being placed at its current location within the Main Sanctuary in the early 1990s.
