Parc Labelle is a quiet section of St-Jérôme in which can be found the Amphithéâtre Rolland and the statue of Curé Antoine Labelle, the work of celebrated Québec sculptor Alfred Laliberté.  

From 1897 to 1900, Laliberté studied at the Conseil des Arts et Manufactures in Montréal. He took drawing and modeling courses with Edmond Dyonnet, Joseph Saint-Charles and Alexandre Carli. He lived in Paris from 1902 to 1907, where he was admitted in the workshop of Gabriel-Jules Thomas and to the École des Beaux-arts, where Jean-Antoine Injalbert was one of his mentors. During this period, he became friends with the painter Marc-Aurèle de Foy Suzor-Côté, was subject to the influence of European symbolism and able to admire the work of Auguste Rodin.

Working at a time when there was growing interest in the celebration of Canadian and Québec heroes and historic characters in general, Laliberté was able to devote much of his career to the monumental form, especially commemorative, in public buildings and parks. Some of his more prized works include the fountain in the Marché Maisonneuve in Montréal (1914) and the monuments to Louis Hébert (1917), Adam Dollard des Ormeaux (1920) and of course, Curé Antoine Labelle in Saint-Jérôme (1924).
