The steeple above was originally made of stone but was too heavy (3,500,000 lbs) to be supported by the tower so was replaced with an aluminum one built to look just like the old stone steeple.

Basilique Notre-Dame (above) in the old town (Vieux-Montreal) is French Catholic, not English protestant like the first church (Christ Church).
Blue lights were a little cheezy, maybe, but pretty.

The Church at Dawson College in Westmont. (didn't go inside.)
Church (chapel) at Maison-mere des Soeurs Grises (Grey nuns) across from our hotel. Built in the 19th century, it is the center of a very grand and very Old World single-building complex. The five-story tall, hundreds of feet long, C-shaped building had a hospital, orphanage and "Motherhouse". It's now partly a college and not open to the public as far as we could tell.
