With the abundance of churches in Quebec, I’m always surprised to find religious groups occupying non-traditional sites, like this Catholic church in a ground-floor of an old-folks’ residence on Christophe-Colomb (Petite-Patrie).

The priest seems to have kept a website for some time, which provides insight into why the parish decided to sell their church to the residence’s developers, and how the parish’s identity has changed since the church was demolished and they began “celebrating mass around a table.”
