Welcome! Bienvenue!
The Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul is a multicultural Presbyterian congregation in Montreal, at Bishop and Sherbrooke Streets. The powerful grace of the Word of God and glorious music fill our sanctuary every Sunday at 11 a.m. EST. A Crèche (Nursery) and Church School (Sunday School) are available for your children during the worship service, so please bring them along. Whether you seek a few quiet moments of reflection and prayer or an active role in fellowship and mission, you will be warmly greeted. All are welcome!
“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
– John 20:21

What's Next?
The What’s Next Team has been overwhelmed by how many people responded to our invitation to think about our church’s future and to make suggestions on where we need to be going. Through surveys that were answered, focus groups attended and congregational workshops, we received hundreds of suggestions and over 1000 comments! We want to thank everyone who took the time to participate in this phase of our initiative.
On September 11, the Session of our church approved a final report from the What’s Next Team. In it, we recommended that all the suggestions be sent to the committees and organizations responsible for that aspect of our congregation’s life in order that they can be considered carefully and, where appropriate, acted upon. To receive a copy of the final report, please ask for one at the church office or click on the button below.
As well, we recommended that the search for a second minister begin and that the person be designated as an Associate Minister (for Bridge Building, Interconnectedness or a similar term). That person, along with other pastoral duties, would seek to enhance the connections between individuals and organizations within A&P as well as making new connections between our congregation and the surrounding community.
We are excited that we are beginning a new phase in our congregation’s life as we strengthen our own ministry as well as grow it as we seek to be faithful followers of Christ.
By Land, Sea, and Air
A Tribute to 27 Young Men of Our Congregation Who Fought in WWII
Last year, to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, our church published and distributed Lest We Forget – a remembrance of lives lost in this tragic war. This year, on Remembrance Day Sunday, November 10, we plan to publish and distribute By Land, Sea and Air – a tribute to the 27 men of our congregation who died in World War II. The title underlines the fact that this war was fought not so much by soldiers “in the trenches” but by all three armed services. This book is a collection of stories about the young men of our congregation who died in tanks, on corvettes and in planes. By words and images, we have attempted to bring these brave men to life again – to share not only what they accomplished before and during the war, but their hopes for the future when the world would again be at peace.

We have many choices to make in life. But do we always make the right ones? Please come along this Sunday as we explore this very important aspect of our lives.

Please join us Feb. 8 at 7:30 pm for a candlelight vigil entitled And I Kept On Living where we will contemplate the subject of suicide and the stigma associated with mental illness. Among young Canadians, suicide is the second leading cause of death after car accidents. Suicide and mental illness are closely connected: an estimated 90% of people who die by suicide also struggle with mental illness. People often don't want to think or talk about it, so come and let music open your hearts and minds to create a safe space of reflection on this difficult topic. FREE ADMISSION
Magnifique prestation. Bravo !!
Dios MIO ! Proteje nuestro PUEBLO ! A nuestro Presidente ! Amen .

I know all about it. It happened to my family who where parishioners at one time.
Sounds very interesting.
Suicide Prevention Lunch & Learn Session on Feb. 2nd at 12:15 pm following our Sunday Worship Service.
Connecting with someone who cares can make all the difference for someone who is thinking about suicide, but family and friends often don’t know how to help and are sometimes afraid their efforts might make things worse. This presentation will provide concrete and practical information on how to recognize when someone might be at risk for suicide and how to help them. It is open to everyone who would like to learn more about how they can contribute to suicide prevention.
This lunch and learn session is part of a series of events over the next week that cover this topic. Please also plan to attend our upcoming candlelight vigil entitled And I Kept Living on Feb.8 at 7:30 pm as well as our Sunday Worship Service on Feb. 2 at 11 am where we will further contemplate the subject of suicide and the stigma associated with mental illness.
