Amidst Montreal’s vibrant Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie borough stands the Sainte-Bernadette-Soubirous Church. It’s a place brimming with history, more than just a building. Sainte-Bernadette-Soubirous Church was established in 1937. Its story began with the opening of its registers on February 26, 1938. The present church building, however, wasn’t completed until nearly two decades later, between 1953 and 1955. The architect behind this beautiful structure was Roland Dumais. He lived from 1910 to 1982 and left his mark on the city with this design. The church served the community for many years. In 2010, the Sainte-Bernadette-Soubirous parish was suppressed and merged with Notre-Dame-de-l’Alliance. While the original parish may no longer exist, the building still stands as a testament to its history. Did you know that the area has a rich history predating the church? This area was once part of the village of La Côte La Visitation, founded in 1871. In 1895, it was renamed Lorimier, and a portion of it became the village of Petite-Côte, later known as Rosemont. Both Lorimier and Rosemont were annexed to Montreal in the early 20th century. So, as you stand before Sainte-Bernadette-Soubirous, you’re not just looking at a church. You’re looking at a piece of Montreal’s evolving story. It is a story woven from village life, urban expansion, and the enduring presence of faith.
