St Patrick’s Basilica

In a city filled with amazing Churches, St. Patrick’s Basilica is my absolute favorite! A couple of months ago, I returned here for the first time after 20 years. This Catholic church is still beautiful outside, and even more amazing inside.
My French speaking skills are not good. I find it very convenient to attend mass here because most of the masses are celebrated in English.
If you find yourself in Montréal, then make sure to visit St. Patrick’s Basilica. It is not the most popular Church, but it is still impressive.

Stunning! the Sacred Heart Chapel is just marvelous. so modern and in complete contrast to the charm and beauty of the main church. A definite must see as a stop in Old Montréal.

My favourite church in Montréal! It’s beautiful and everyone is incredibly welcoming

On vacation, we like to visit churches:)
St. Patrick’s isn’t Notre Dame Basilica but it’s still gorgeous in its own right. We sought out St. Peter’s for its mass in English.
This church is large with lots of wood. Pews are sectioned into cubbyhole type areas, which I’ve never seen before. I would describe the church as ornate with many paintings and stained glass (okay, so this would describe A LOT of churches but it really is beautiful).
The parishioners were diverse, ethnically speaking, which I find refreshing.

I’ve been there several time. It blend in the décor and it’s hardly foundable but this place is amazing. Belivers and Non-​Believers. The wood collon is impressive. It was renovated last year. One of the most impressive part of this church is definetely the quietness in the middle of Downtown Montréal and the craftmanship required for such a beautiful paint job. you’ll understand when you’ll go.

Note Dame might be the most well known church in Montréal, but St Patricks is by far my favorite. It is not frequented by many tourists, which makes it the perfect hidden gem. It is the only all english church in Montréal. Originally built for the irish immigrants. Being Jewish… i know NOTHING about catholic mass except that you kneel, eat crackers and give money. However, this was a beautiful mass and I felt to lucky to have experienced it.
The inside is breath taking with its high ceilings and huge chandelier surrounded by carved angels. As the service started, the sun shone through the numerous stained glass windows and reflected on the alter and the floor to ceiling carvings of St. Patrick. This is the church to go see in Montréal.
