The church is probably from the 1960’s… preceeding the Big O.
Thanks for this. I always love the similarities between these two buildings so close to one another!
And the difference between the two? When people go to the Bazar at the church they fear not a roof collapse. :P
I like the way the shape of the tree matches that of the Olympic tower :), or it’s negative or something.
The LED sign outside the church also says interesting things, although not quite as interesting as the one near the Jacques Cartier with the neon sign about the wages of sin. Apparently the church at Pie-IX got in a fight with the city about the sign, or something.
