Marylake Shrine of Our Lady of Grace
The Shrine and grounds are open at 8:30 am to 7:00 pm every day.
The main building which houses the community is built on three levels, from lake level upwards. There are entrances and exits on all levels. The building, including house and church is constructed of split field stone native to Marylake, and reinforced concrete and brick.
The Shrine Church and Blessed Sacrament Chapel are both ellipsoidal in form. Irregular sized pieces of glass in multicolour shades, forms the bell tower, (extending one hundred feet high, two hundred feet from lake level, about five stories high) andspectacularly encloses the all-purpose circular sanctuary, bathing it with multicoloured light.
The bell tower itself, like a huge crown sits atop the church. The bell was cast in bronze in Troy, New York, weighs 2,500 pounds and sounds the musical tone "E" above middle "C," and is activated automatically by a programmed time clock.
The sound system in the church was set up with the aid of an oscilloscope, assuring quality of voice without distortion. The acoustics in the church are superb, so much so that during the course of a year both professional and amateur groups of musicians use the church for rehearsals and performances.
The Blessed Sacrament Chapel is located on the east side of the church. It is here that the community celebrate daily the liturgies of the mass and hours. The tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament weighs two and a half tons, is of travertine marble and was sculpted by Mr. Earl Neiman, who also fashioned the celebrants chair and lectern in the same material. His wife, Maria, executed the bronze crucifix candleholders and sanctuary lamp, as well as the terra-cotta stations of the cross. The fifteenth station "The Resurrection" is an innovative concept.

CATHEDRAL - BASILICA
Mary Queen of the World and St. James the Greater
Mary Queen of the World Cathedral is located in the heart of downtown Montreal, right across from the Dorchester Square. It is also close to the Metro station Bonaventure, orange line.
This Cathedral is ABSOLUTELY Stunning! A Masterpiece!
I was walking around and I noticed this huge, beautiful Cathedral. I entered its vast doors and was welcomed by the most friendliest staff. As soon I entered the Cathedral, I was in Awe. Mesmerized by the beauty. This is the most amazing and peaceful, place I have had the blessing to visit.
The interior is extremely impressive. I couldn't stop taking pictures of every inch. I actually took over 200 photos, but I could only share some of them. I have also shared photos of the Pamphlet
provided by the Staff, explaining the History and details about every inch of this Cathedral inside and the outside.
LOVE the architecture and Immaculate details that are put into this stunning Cathedral. The aisle walls are decorated with beautiful large paintings depicting the early events in the founding of the City. The Cupola will take your breath away. The altar is so elegant. Amazing Acoustics. Just Exquisite!
I honestly felt the presence of the greater power. It is a great place to pray and just sit there in peace and meditate.
We visit Montreal once a year for the past several years and I can't believe I didn't know this Cathedral existed. When in Montreal, this a must visit Cathedral. Unlike some of the other places/Cathedrals/Basilicas, there is no admission fee to enter this Cathedral.
