If you like beautiful old churches this is for you. Take the time to go inside, small fee involved, and take some pictures. It's beautiful.

The church is wonderful. Very close to Notre dame basilica but, so different and equally beautiful. These 2 are definitely the top 2 must see churches in Montreal.

I remembered this Basilica from a trip three years ago, so we stopped in mid-afternoon on a weekday. It is still stunning, both in size and beauty. Be sure to pick up the little sheet they provide that has many interesting facts about the history and contruction as well as all the details as you walk around. This is one... More

A basilica where you can visit but also, sit quietly and think. Analzing oieces of arts inside.... and the outside is also worth many pictures.

After Notre-Dame, I believe this is the nicest church in Montreal. The wall details are amazing. Don't let the external appearance fool you, you are in for an architectural gem.

Frankly, I think there are much more impressive churches in Montreal. However, this one is beloved by the previously large Irish-Canadian community.

St Patricks was beautiful and felt much more genuine than Notre Dame. We didn't take pictures of the interior because it didn't seem appropriate. There were people in prayer.
