“This is my local church, I’m not a practicing catholic but they call them an open church, so I feel welcome and everyday those bells ring it appease me. So it is open to all, whoever. Please, just walk in there, enjoy the serenity, the smell of the old candles and listen to your heartbeat, and just think that you could be part of a bigger thing or whatever. Keep those bells ringing loud everyday. MERCI” – Andrei Saint Amant
Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul
Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul is a multicultural Presbyterian congregation. On Notre Dame Street, near the current location of city hall, was founded. In 1843, St. Paul’s Church was built nearby. The two congregations agreed to merge in 1918, and the current structure was built in 1931-32. The previous St. Paul’s church at Ville St-Laurent was destroyed and rebuilt just south of the current Vanier College site, where it currently functions as a museum. The Rev. Dr. J.S.S. Armour released Saints, Sinners, and Scots, a history of our congregation, as part of our church’s anniversary celebrations in 2003. It’s available in the Narthex’s Book Stall.

“This church is beautiful inside, but the best part is the secret garden on the side – an oasis in the middle of downtown Montreal’s hustle and bustle. A great place to sit, listen to the fountain, read a book, eat lunch and relax! Thank you for making this treasure available to the community !” – Istvan Molnar-Szakacs
