Offer Guided Tours in a Place of Worship
Published on
Scattered throughout Montreal’s neighbourhoods are places of worship that are wonders to behold and that reflect the city’s history and cultural diversity. They’re attracting more and more attention from people and prompting parishes and congregations to think about how they can better receive visitors and interpret the building’s history. It’s not always easy to tell the story behind an inscription, a marquee, a stained-glass window, a painted vault, or an ornament atop a steeple, but such story telling can enhance not only the building’s value, but also all of our heritage. It is in this spirit that the guide is offered to officials of places of worship and to citizens so that they can, with the help of sound advice and concrete examples, better share the pleasure of knowing our heritage.
