Church of St. Michael and St. Anthony
What It Is
The Church of St. Michael and St. Anthony is a Roman Catholic church in Montreal's Mile End district. Built initially for Irish immigrants, it adopted its current name in 1964 after the local Polish community joined the parish. Travellers visit to see its distinctive architecture and to explore the area's multicultural history.
Getting There
From downtown Montreal, the trip takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes by public transit. Take the Orange Metro line north to Laurier or Rosemont station, followed by a short bus ride or walk west into Mile End. A taxi or rideshare from the city centre takes about 15 minutes depending on traffic.
Time to Spend
Allow about 30 to 45 minutes to view the building's exterior and step inside.
When to Visit
Daylight hours are ideal for viewing the building's facade. Because this is an active place of worship, avoid touring the interior during religious services. The church is rarely crowded with tourists, making it a calm stop at any time of year.
