Montréal's Religious Heritage: The East End, a digital chapter taken from the guide Discovering Montréal's Religious Heritage, is your invitation to discover all the diversity and beauty of the religious heritage of Montréal and its environs. In full colour and lavishly illustrated with magnificent photos, this one-of-a-kind guidebook reveals the secrets of an exceptionally rich heritage unequalled anywhere else in North America.
On this tour of the eastern end of the city, you will discover a mosque, two pilgrimage sites, three churches, and a former church transformed into a community hall and daycare centre. The churches on this tour have been chosen for their remarkable heritage value. As suburban churches of the 1950s and 1960s, they share certain characteristics typical of that period, alongside distinctive elements that make each one unique. Their architects and builders combined unusual, resolutely modern forms and materials and a skillful use of daylight, reinventing the church in new and unique ways. Among the notable churches visited on this tour is the Sanctuaire du Sacré-Cœur et de Saint-Padre-Pio, which was Montréal's largest pilgrimage site before the construction of St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal.
Conceived for pilgrims whose journeys are prompted by their faith as well as those drawn by art, architecture, and history, Montréal's Religious Heritage: The East End shines a light on Montréal's rich religious heritage, both ancient and modern. It also spotlights successfully converted religious buildings that have been given a new lease on life.
