St. Leon Catholic Church — Attraction in Westmount

Cest magnifique structural design !!! 🤩The priest was concerned about their budget since the candle display actually has a $3.00 price posted in a church ??!!?!!! I thought I put $3.25 but after I put all the coins in the money slot kneeled on pedestal said some prayers I took photos of all the stained glass windows since no one else was inside but the priest. When I got to the table by front door to pick up a bulletin the priest surprisingly confronted me and told me I hadn't put the required amount !!!!!!!!! He said I shorted the church by $2.50 for lighting candles for people I prayed for . So I apologized and explained I thought I put a $2.00 coin in when he showed me all the quarters I put in. So I pulled out some more coins and gave him $3.25 more. Really since when does a church have requirements on lighting candles for sick and deceased...

Église Catholic Saint-Léon is a great church. There were many benefactors and people who support this beautiful Christian Church.

The church is open to the public for anyone who wants to visit and give thanks and pray to our Lord and King.

It is nice inside dark and lighting is needed when you visit inside during off hours but all praise to God.

May God Bless and protect this house for all of In his name.

In God we Trust 🙏 Vivat Christus Rex...

L'église magnifiquement décorée avec son art et sa sculpture est incroyable et devrait figurer sur votre liste de visite.

Je viens dans cette église depuis que je suis devenu abstinent il y a plus de 20 ans, essentiellement j'ai vécu dans le sous-sol de l'église toute ma vie depuis 2002. C'est un lieu de rencontre pour les AA anglophones et francophones. Réunions. C'est une paroisse sacrée avec une belle histoire. Mais elle a connu de mauvais jours.

Saint Leon's Church in Westmount is one of the oldest Francophone parishes in Montreal. The beautifully decorated church with its art and sculpture is incredible, and should be on your visit list. The parish has seen very hard times, with multiple break ins and robberies over the years. I've been coming to this church since I became sober over 20 years ago, basically I lived in the church basement for the whole of my life since 2002. It has been a meeting place for both English and French A.A. Meetings. It is a hallowed parish with a beautiful history. But she has...
