Two Montreal are reportedly at risk of being demolished.
The churches churches — Sainte-Brigide-de-Kildare Church on Alexandre-DeSève Street and Saint-Eusèbe-de-Vercelli Church on Fullum Street — are reportedly being demolished to make way for housing.
Before any demolition can take place, the city will have to ask the Office de consultation publique de Montréal (OCPM) to consult the public on the future of religious heritage buildings.
“In May 2026, Héritage Montréal submitted a letter to the City of Montreal requesting a public consultation on religious heritage, with the objective of encouraging the City to develop an overall vision and strategy for the future of religious heritage sites,” said Gabriel Martre-Dufour, a communications officer at the OCPM.
Martre-Dufour says a meeting was held at the end of the summer between representatives of the City of Montreal, Héritage Montréal and the OCPM to better understand Héritage Montréal’s expectations and to discuss the issues and conditions required for the success of a potential consultation mandate.
The city is reportedly still working on the mandate. To date, the OCPM has not received any official mandate on the matter.
