The present-day Saint-Roch church was built at the beginning of the 20th century, at a time when the district was experiencing unprecedented economic growth.
Just a stone's throw from the department stores on rue Saint-Joseph, the new church stands out from the surrounding modern buildings with its architecture borrowed from medieval cathedrals. The church, the fourth to occupy this site since 1811, is part of a major project to revitalize the Saint-Roch district.
