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. More

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

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. More

While it is beautiful, it's a church. I do not like churches simply because they were built at the expense of various North & South American cultures. More

Beautiful to look at and visit As a child attending St. Patrick's School (no longer exists as it burned to the the ground many years ago) we would attend masses there every first Friday of the month.

this church's interior is all decorated in wood, plaster and paint. A comfortable environment, warm and inspiring. Quite different from St. Joseph and Notre Dame. Don't miss it - and compare for yourself. More
