Montréal’s Religious Heritage: A Tour of the West Island, 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.
The western part of the Island of Montreal, commonly called the West Island, is home to a significant English-speaking population. Today, this part of the metropolitan area is very culturally diverse, with fascinating holy places belonging to a variety of faiths. This tour will explore French- and English-speaking Catholic churches, as well as Protestant and Orthodox churches and a Hindu temple. Some belong to the neoclassical and Gothic Revival architectural traditions, while others showcase modern architectural ideas through innovative forms and materials.
Conceived for pilgrims whose journeys are prompted by their faith as well as those drawn by art, architecture, and history, Montréal’s Religious Heritage: A Tour of the West Island 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.
