In 1915, St. Michael\u2019s church in Mile End could boast that it was the largest English-speaking Catholic parish in the city of Montreal. Over the next few decades, that population moved away to other parts of the city. St. Michael\u2019s merged with a Polish mission in 1969 and today, people are often surprised to learn that the church was ever Irish.<\/p>\n

Mile End Memories is going in search of Irish Mile End. With the support of the Belonging and Identity project of the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network<\/a> (QAHN) [1], we have launched a research project to discover the Irish legacy in the neighbourhood and to find out where the community moved after the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Please write to us<\/a> if you have stories, pictures or reminiscences of Irish Mile End \u2013 if you or your family members were parishioners of St. Michael\u2019s or students in its schools, if you have memories of events or important places.<\/p>\n
