The people in charge of the church met with people from the Rosemont – La-Petite-Patrie borough in 2019 to discuss a possible takeover of the church by the borough in order to convert it into a cultural, leisure and/or community center; unfortunately, no follow-up was given to these steps.
A citizen has made a short video presenting a proposal to reuse the church and make it a community center that meets the needs of the neighborhood. This would save this desecrated place of worship by continuing to make it a place of meeting, exchange and sharing.
Excerpt of the book Discovering modern Montréal and the Estérel resort in Québec, of France Vanlaethem et al., Civa editions and Docomomo Québec, 2007, p. 166:
“Situated on a large tree-filled plot, this Catholic church testifies to the influence exerted in Québec by the French monk and architect, Dom Paul Bellot. It was also inspired by the New France architecture popularised from the 1920s by Professor Ramsay Traquair of McGill University and the Québec art historian Gérard Morisset, both pioneers in terms of heritage. The simplicity of its stone facade is somewhat evocative of rural churches of the 17th century. On the other hand, the mitred arches are one of the favourite details of Dom Bellot’s disciples, handled here with great restraint. Dom Bellot’s ongoing success is explained by his contribution to the renewal of religious architecture in accordance with tradition. A sculpture by Sylvia Daoust decorates one of the sanctuary walls.”
