With its Byzantine architecture and minaretlike turret (above), the Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael’s and St. Anthony’s at the corner of St-Urbain and St-Viateur in Montréal is a study in contrasts. The shamrock design in its stained-glass windows reflects its Irish origins, but for four decades, St. Michael’s and St. Anthony’s has served an Irish and Polish congregation. The church’s mix of influences is eclectic, just like the neighbourhood it has graced since 1915. Mile End is an ethnically diverse and traditionally working-class quarter in the shadow of Mount Royal. Immortalized in Mordecai Richler’s novels, it was built by successive waves of immigrants — Jewish, Greek, Italian, Portuguese — and is known for its bagels, its restaurants and its artistic community. In recent years, Mile End has become increasingly gentrified, attracting well-heeled professionals and mainstream businesses that are gradually changing the character of its streets. Shaped by its gritty grassroots past, it is coloured with a bohemian touch.
