T he intention of this book is to help you discover Montréal, “the city of a hun-dred bell towers1”, through its missionary

origins and its rich and prestigious religious herit-age. Whether your interest lies in history, religion, sacred art or architecture, this guide is an indispens-able reference to current and repurposed places of worship in Montréal and its environs. From the churches and chapels, places of pilgrimage, and cemeteries that speak of the city’s Christian origins to the synagogues and temples that reveal its past and present diversity, the 11 tours suggested will reveal a multi-confessional heritage that is aston-ishingly rich in history and architectural wonders.

While not at all exhaustive, the tours proposed in this guide are a way to discover or rediscover

Montréal’s religious heritage over the decades, its architectural styles, the blending of religions and the distinctive characters of its different territories and communities. As you travel through time, discovering the history revealed in these religious buildings’ architecture and artwork, you’ll get to know the fascinating story of how Montréal and its neighbourhoods have grown, developed, evolved, and welcomed newcomers.

From east to west and north to south, you’ll encounter traditional architectural styles (neom-edieval, neoclassical, Baroque Revival, Roman-esque Revival, etc.) and modern places of wor-ship that demonstrate the daring and ingenuity of contemporary designers.

Preface

7

You’ll visit places that are rich in history, such as the Église de la Visitation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie, the Maison Saint-Gabriel and the Saint-Sulpice Seminary; iconic monuments such as Notre-Dame Basilica, Mary Queen of the World Cathedral and Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal; and a profusion of neighbour-hood churches and other places of worship, hidden treasures tucked away inside their own communities.

Much of this guide has been devoted to build-ings designed by resolutely modern architects. This little-known modern religious herit-age shows off how these talented architects have reinvented religious tradition by using daring and unusual shapes, contemporary materials,

carefully planned natural light, and new ways to configure space. Many of these often overlooked modern religious buildings are inspired by the works of famous architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Félix Candela.

Some of the tours in this guide will also reveal projects that have converted historic religious buildings into community spaces for meeting and discussion and showcases for creating and spreading culture (libraries, museums, theatres, etc.). You’ll discover how carefully planned renewal projects have protected these valuable parts of our urban heritage from deterioration and even demolition, keeping these reinvented spaces at the heart of their neighbourhoods’ social and community life.

In the Heart of

the Old CityThis tour is about 5km in length. It begins in the historic district of Old Montreal and continues through the Latin Quarter, finishing in Montréal’s Centre-Sud neighbourhood. Here you’ll discover the exuberant beginnings of the Christian faith in Québec’s largest city, the founding of its first places of worship

and parishes, and today’s disenchantment with the church. You’ll visit some of Québec’s most celebrated monuments and some locations that even most Montrealers don’t know, and discover an architectural, cultural and social heritage that will captivate you.

DD You’ll begin your tour at the Maison de Mère d’Youville, on Rue Saint-Pierre, at the western edge of Old Montréal.

Maison de Mère d’Youville

Through its permanent exhib-ition, In Her Footsteps, the Maison de Mère d’Youville

preserves the memory of St. Marguerite d’Youville, who founded the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Montréal (also called the Grey Nuns) in 1737.

This former hospital was built by the Charon brothers, and was Montréal’s first charitable institution. When it opened in 1693 it was also known by

the names "Maison de Char-ité" and "Hôpital Général des Frères Charon." In 1747, the colonial officials entrusted it to Mother Marguerite d’Youville, first temporarily, and then permanently in 1753 by means of letters patent.

The hospice was in very poor condition when the Grey Nuns took over, but Marguerite

d’Youville’s courage and deter-mination turned it around. Financial problems persisted, however, and in 1765, a fire ravaged the property, spar-ing only the stone walls. The building underwent count-less renovations and enlarge-ments before the nuns left in 1871. Part of the hospital was demolished to make way for an expansion of the port. The

Marguerite d’Youville was born Marie-Marguerite Dufrost de Lajemmerais in 1701 in Varennes,

Québec. She became part of the Confrérie des Dames de la Sainte-Famille in 1727. During her time with this lay order, she had a mystical encounter with God the Eternal Father. From then on, she showed an unshakeable faith that helped her achieve monumental work, expressing her devotion through compassion and self-sacrifice. Today, her spiritual heritage is regarded by many as the foundation of Québec’s social and community services.

City of Montréal then decided to extend Rue Saint-Pierre through the former hospital, eliminating half of the old chapel and the eastern portion of the complex. After this, the Grey Nuns decided to build warehouses on the opposite side of the new street to gen-erate revenue to support their mission. Finally, the ware-houses were refurbished as the Maison de Mère d’Youville, no longer as a hospital but as a residence for the Grey Nuns order, and in 1981 they moved back in.

Great benefactors and fervent advocates of social justice, the Grey Nuns provided comfort, care and food to orphans, the elderly, and the destitute.

In light of her extraordinary devotional path, Marguerite d’Youville was canonized in 1990 by Pope John Paul II. The tomb of Saint Marguerite d’Youville lies in the Sainte-Anne Basilica in Varennes.

One of the features of the Maison de Mère d’Youville is the Stone Room, where she served soup to the poor. This

In May 2013, the Maison

de Mère d’Youville was designated a heritage property by the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec.

meticulously reproduced room is appointed with period decor and furnishings. The faithful can also pray to Saint Mar-guerite d’Youville in the room where she passed away.

Along with the Saint-Sulpice Seminary, the former Hôpital Général des Frères Charon is one of the oldest buildings still surviving in Montréal.

DD After your visit, turn left on Rue Saint-Pierre then right on to Rue Notre-Dame.

Saint-Sulpice Seminary

Standing next to Notre-Dame Basilica and Place d’Armes, the Saint-Sulpice Seminary was constructed between 1683 and 1685. This major herit-age building replaced the first seminary of the Society of the Priests of Saint Sulpice in Montréal, which faced onto Rue Saint-Paul. The plans for

the oldest portion, the cen-tral body of the building, are attributed to the Sulpician priest François Dollier de Cas-son (1636-1701), Superior of the Montréal Seminary, while the two wings were added at the beginning of the 18th cen-tury by Father François Vachon de Belmont (1645-1732). The right wing ends at the edge of the street and has survived, but the left wing that mirrored it has been demolished.

Ever since 1657, the

priests serving Notre-Dame Basilica have always been Sulpicians.

20 Discovering Montréal's Religious Heritage

The entranceway opens onto the interior courtyard of the building and is surmounted by a pediment composed of two lions, between which appear the letters AM. These stand for Auspice Maria (“under the pro-tection of Mary”), a Sulpician motto which refers to their devotion to the Virgin Mary.

At the top of the Seminary’s facade is a clock tower con-taining a clock dating back to the early 18th century. The clock face was made in Paris, and until 1814, it was the only public clock in Montréal.

The Sulpicians also created gardens in the 18th century, in front of and behind the Seminary. At the front, for-mal gardens welcome visitors,

and to the rear, an orchard and vegetable garden met part of the Seminary’s need for provi-sions. The layout of aisles and raised beds was inspired by the traditional gardens of France at the time.

In 1980, the entire building, with its gardens, was classified as a National Historic Site of Canada, and in 2007 listed under the name “Saint-Sulpice Seminary and its Garden.” In 1985, the Québec government also recognized the seminary as a historic site, the “Site his-torique du Vieux-Séminaire-de-Saint-Sulpice.”

DD Now make your way to the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal, just a few steps from the Saint-Sulpice Seminary.

Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal

Rising before you is one of the most moving religious build-ings in the city. Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal is undeni-ably one of the most beautiful sacred places in the Americas. Its elegant grandeur and its historic, aesthetic and pastoral value makes it one of Québec’s greatest monuments. A treas-ure trove of sacred art, Notre-Dame Basilica plays a funda-mental role in showcasing and preserving Montréal’s Catholic religious heritage.

The basilica’s history is inter-woven with that of Montréal itself. The building was con-structed by the Sulpicians, who oversaw the administration of the city as seigneurs between 1663 and 1854.

However, the origins of today’s basilica go back to a little wooden chapel dedicated to Our Lady in 1642. This first chapel was served by the Jesuits until the first Sulpician Fathers arrived in Montréal in 1657. The Sulpi-cians undertook the construc-tion of a new church, between

The first Sulpicians arrived in Montréal in 1657. They played a defining role in the history of the

city, which they administered as seigneurs from 1663 until the seigneurial system was abolished on the island in 1854. During this period, they spurred and supported the city’s educational, social, cultural, economic and religious development.

21In the Heart of the Old City

1672 and 1683, in the Baroque style. Over time, this place of worship was repeatedly modi-fied, reconfigured and enlarged as the population increased. But by the early 19th century, the church had grown so cramped that a new church was clearly necessary. The basilica was the answer to that challenge.

The Sulpician Fathers wanted to construct a Catholic church larger than any other place of worship in the Americas, built in an innovative style. Remark-ably the architect they chose, James O’Donnell, was an Irish Protestant.

The basilica was built between 1824 and 1829 to O’Donnell’s plans. Usually described as Gothic Revival in style, experts now view the basilica as Gothic Regency, a classical style com-bined with Gothic ornamenta-tion.

The basilica's facade reflects this co-existence of classical and medieval styles. While the windows and spire give it a Gothic appearance, the sym-metry and repetitive pattern of its rectangular elements are more classical. The facade is enhanced with three statues: the Virgin Mary; Saint John

The basilica’s towers are

story of Rosalie Cadron-Jetté who, in the middle of the 18th century, confronted the preju-dices of her time by providing assistance to single mothers and their children. She also founded the Institut des Sœurs de Miséricorde. Guided vis-its without a reservation are offered on open days, the first Friday and Saturday of each month. Outside of these per-iods, you can book a museum visit.

On Montréal’s North Shore

Église Saint-François- de-Sales7070 Boulevard des Mille-Îles, Laval

The Église Saint-François-de-Sales, humble but attractive, was the third holy site in its parish. Constructed in 1847, it was given a new Gothic Revival facade in 1894. Its rustic cem-etery at the rear reminds us of Laval’s rural origins.

Église Sainte-Rose- de-Lima219 Boulevard Sainte-Rose, Laval

The Église Sainte-Rose-de-Lima succeeds two other churches built respectively in

1746 and 1788. It was built between 1852 and 1856, in the same period as the Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul on the other side of Île Jésus. Certain elements remaining from the second church, such as the high altar (1799), were incorporated into the neoclassical interior.

Église Saint-Vincent- de-Paul Corner of Boulevard Lévesque Est and Rue de la Fabrique, Laval

The Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul was constructed in 1853. Its neoclassical interior, with its beautiful Corinthian col-umns and coffered ceiling, did not suffer much alteration when church decor was simpli-fied in the 1960s following the Second Vatican Council. The forecourt offers lovely views over Rivière des Prairies.

Église Sainte-Thérèse- de-Blainville 10 Rue de l’Église, Sainte-Thérèse, 450-435-9515

This church is the second place of worship to occupy this site. It was built between 1885 and 1887 to replace the first church, which was destroyed in a fire.

The eclectic architectural style of the church features a

blend of influences from the Romanesque Revival (arrows-lit windows, rounded open-ings, decorative blind arcades known as Lombard bands) and Gothic Revival (rose win-dow, pinnacles) styles. The church has a Latin cross plan with a rectangular nave and a projecting choir that ends in a semi-circular apse. An ambu-latory runs the length the church.

The interior decor has several noteworthy elements, such as the ornamentation on the ceil-ing, the cornices and columns, and the layout of the liturgical spaces, with abundant natural light for the apse.

Église de la Purification-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie 445 Rue Notre-Dame Est, Repentigny

Construction of the Église de la Purification-de-la-Bien-heureuse-Vierge-Marie began in 1723, making it the old-est church in the diocese of Montréal. The interior was restored to its original sim-plicity in 1984 following a fire that almost destroyed the whole church.

229Even More Discoveries

Église Saint-Eustache123 Rue Saint-Louis, Saint-Eustache

This church was built between 1780 and 1783. Architectur-ally, it is remarkable mainly for its neoclassical facade built out of cut stone. Its two bell towers bear witness to the prosperity of local residents in the years leading up to the rebellions of 1837-1838. On December 19, 1837, 150 Patriotes led by Jean-Olivier Chénier shut themselves up in the building to resist General Colborne’s British troops. The British leader had his men bombard the church, and by the end of the battle, only its founda-tions, facade and a few of its walls were left. The troops were then ordered to burn most of the houses in the vil-lage. It took Saint-Eustache more than 30 years to recover from these events. The church, which was rebuilt in 1842, still bears traces of the fierce fight-ing that took place within its walls.

Église de l’Annonciation183 Rue des Anges, Oka, 450-479-6418

The Église de l’Annonciation in Oka was built between 1879 and 1883 on the shore of Lac des Deux-Montagnes.

Its architecture influenced the style of several churches in the region, such as the Église Sainte-Thérèse-de-Blainville in Sainte-Thérèse. Among its most distinctive elements are the skylights installed on the slope of the roof. Ahead of its time, the facade shows signs of the eclectic style that had only just begun to make an appearance when the church was built. Inspired by Roman-esque architecture, the church was built with a Latin cross plan, ending in a semi-circular apse. Natural light imbues the church interior with a feel-ing of serenity and wellbeing. The rose windows are illumin-ated by the sun’s rays, and also by the skylights set into the roof. Works by the celebrated painter and master glazier Guido Nincheri decorate the nave.

Calvaire d’Oka 2020 Chemin d’Oka, Parc National d’Oka, 450-479-8365, www.sepaq.com/pq/oka

A major pilgrimage site dat-ing from the 18th century, and the oldest of its kind in the Americas, this religious monument bears witness to the evangelical mission of the Sulpicians among the Aborig-inal populations in the Oka

region. Located along a trail running up the hill, the calvary stands in a natural setting that recalls the reverence that First Nations people hold for the land.

While the aim of building the calvary was to bring Chris-tianity to the First Nations people, at the end of the 19th century it became extremely popular with non-Aboriginal Catholics. The development of neighbouring parishes and means of transportation at that time helped to make it one of the most important places of pilgrimage in Québec.

The calvary consists of seven small buildings along a forested path, with four successive ora-tories along the way. The trail ends at the summit of the hill, where there are three chapels. Of simple, robust construc-tion, all the buildings merge beautifully into their natural environment. The bas-reliefs that hang in the buildings date from 2004. They are replicas of the originals that had to be removed and restored due to the ravages of the climate. The original works were purchased in 2011 by the Musée de la Civilisation de Québec, which carried out restoration work on the reliefs.

Some Artists, Artisans and Architects

� Thomas Baillairgé (1791-1859): Québec City sculptor and eminent architect. Very active in his native city and in eastern Québec, where numerous religious and public buildings bear his mark. He designed only one church in Montréal, the Église Sainte-Geneviève, but it is well worth the trip.

� Aristide Beaugrand-Champagne (1876-1950): Québec architect who trained at the École Polytechnique de Montréal, then at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal. He is credited with the stunning, Byzantine-style St. Michael’s and St. Anthony’s Church, a design he recycled for the Cathédrale Sainte-Thérèse-d’Avila in Amos; he also designed the Chalet du Mont-Royal.

� Dom Paul Bellot (1876-1944): architect and Benedictine monk born in Paris, whose influence on the modernist movement in religious architecture in the 1940s and 1950s was so important that his way of doing things became known as the Dombellotiste style. In Québec, where he spent the end of his life, he was involved in the construction of the Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac and

the final stages of Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal. Several other architects became his disciples and adopted his approach.

� Médard Bourgault (1897-1967): sculptor who, with his bothers André and Jean-Julien, helped to make the town of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli a centre of traditional wood sculpture. Much of his work was religious art, including statues, crucifixes and Ways of the Cross for churches, including some in the Montréal region (Église Saint-Viateur, Église de l’Immaculée-Conception, Église Saint-Pierre-Claver).

� Victor Bourgeau (1809-1888): prolific architect skilled in the Gothic Revival style, who was hired by Bishop Ignace Bourget for numerous church projects. Although he is well known for his work on the interior decor of the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal and the construction of the Cathedral-Basilica of Mary, Queen of the World and Saint James the Great, the Église Saint-Pierre-Apôtre is considered to be Bourgeau’s masterwork.

231Some Artists, Artisans and Architects

� Casavant Frères: famous firm of pipe organ builders founded in Saint-Hyacinthe in 1879 by brothers Joseph-Claver and Samuel-Marie Casavant. Their father, Joseph Casavant (1807-1874) had been manufacturing organs since 1840. The Casavant Frères’ first organ (Opus 1) was built for the Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. Among this workshop’s masterworks in Montréal are the organ in Notre-Dame Basilica (Opus 26)—the largest church organ in North America; the organs of the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste (opuses 615, 616 and 656); and the organ in the new Maison Symphonique (Opus 3900).

� Jean-Charles Charuest (1925-2015): sculptor and decorator who, in particular, collaborated in restoring the decoration of the crypt in Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal, supervised the decoration of the Église Saint-Jean-Vianney, and created the bas-reliefs in De Castelnau metro station.

� Alexander Cowper Hutchison (1838-1922): Montréal architect and stone mason, who also served as mayor of Westmount. Hutchison sculpted the Caen stone columns in Christ Church Cathedral, designed the Erskine and American United Church, and partnered with Henri-Maurice Perreault on the plans for Montréal City Hall. He founded the firm of Hutchison, Wood & Miller, which is credited with the Stanley Presbyterian Church, a Byzantine Revival masterwork in Westmount.

� Roger D’Astous (1926-1998): major Québec modernist architect who trained at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship. He is credited with the design of numerous

churches with daring lines (Notre-Dame-du-Bel-Amour, Saint-René-Goupil, Saint-Jean-Vianney, St. Edmund of Canterbury), as well as the Château Champlain hotel, Beaubien metro station and the Olympic Village pyramids.

� Charles Daudelin (1920-2001): sculptor and painter considered to be one of the pioneers in integrating art into architecture in Québec (Mont-Royal and Langelier metro stations, Viger Square, sculpture fountain in front of the Gare du Palais in Québec City). One of his best known works is the exceptional bronze altarpiece in the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Sacré-Cœur in the Notre-Dame Basilica.

� Georges Delfosse (1869-1939): painter and muralist, creator of numerous religious and historic paintings. In particular, his created a series of paintings depicting the founding of Montréal in Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. His daughter, Madeleine Delfosse (1909-1985), painted the vaulted ceiling of the Église Saint-Pierre-Claver.

� Joseph-Olindo Gratton (1855-1941): sculptor of several statues in Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. These include the thirteen statues on the facade, representing the patron saints of parishes in the diocese of Montréal at the time of its construction. He also sculpted the statue of the Child Jesus on the facade of the Église Saint-Enfant-Jésus in Mile End, as well as La Dernière Cène (The Last Supper) in the Église Saint-Viateur, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting.
