✝️
Saint
Patrick's
Basilica
was
built
in
1847.
Located
in
the
heart
of
downtown
Montreal. The
interiors
were
absolutely
stunning.
The
ambiance
exudes
a
sense
of
tranquility,
providing
a
truly
calming
experience.
I
highly
recommend
a
visit
to
this
Basilica.
Whether
you
are
looking
for
spiritual
renewal,
cultural
enrichment,
or
simply
a
peaceful
sanctuary,
this
Basilica
is
sure
to
leave
a
lasting
impression.
It
is
absolutely
breathtaking.
So
much
detail
in
the
architectural
part
of
it.
I
honestly
loved
just
sitting
there
and
appreciating
everything.
There
are
also
candles
to
light
at
different
sections
of
the
church. I
personally
love
the
purple
candles.
Entry
is
free
and
they
are
so
welcoming.
It’s
usually
quiet
and
serene.
BASILICA
Saint
Patrick’s
Parish
is
a
welcoming
and
reconciling
community.
Beginning
with
our
deep
roots
in
the
Irish
diaspora
we
have
developed
into
a
diverse
and
dynamic
group
from
many
backgrounds
joining
together
as
parishioners
of
the
Mother
Church
of
Montreal’s
English
Speaking
Catholics.
Msgr.
Francis
J.
Coyle,
pastor,
and
Fr.
Robert
Pierre-Louis,
Assistant
Priest,
lead
and
guide
our
downtown
congregation.
Saint
Patrick’s
Church
opened
its
doors
on
March
17th,
1847 to
serve
the
needs
of
the
growing
Irish
community
in
Montreal
and
just
in
time
for
the
wave
of
Irish
immigrants
escaping
famine
and
other
troubles
in
Ireland.
