I popped in here with a friend while strolling around downtown Montreal. The stained glass windows were GORGEOUS!! I tried to take photos but my camera couldn't do them justice- they really have to be seen! One of my favorite details were the huge faces carved into the stone pillars supporting the church on either end. I'd never seen anything like them and i half expected them to start talking like something out of Labryrinth!
We came in Sunday afternoon which provided us with tons of entertainment for the rest of the day because we got to tell people we were good girls who went to church! We were also entertained while in the church by a group of amazing singers broadcasting a live radio performance. If we didn't have somewhere to be (we weren't planning on going here, i just noticed it was open and wanted to explore!) i would have happily plunked myself down on a pew and listened to them for awhile!
There was no admission, but we gladly donated money to their collection box, guilt-free! Why guilt-free you ask? They have a large rainbow flag outside, and a framed sign next to their door proudly proclaims that they are open to and accepting of everyone, no matter what their sexual orientation, background and income. In a perfect world that would be what religion is all about!!
