Église Saint-Stanislas-De-Kostka, Catholic parish church in Montreal, Canada.
Église Saint-Stanislas-De-Kostka is a Romanesque Revival church built in 1910–1912 to plans by architect Louis-Alphonse Venne. Its walls are entirely stone and its roof copper; the interior has a three-aisle nave, a baptistery, two tribunes and an outdoor chapel. The building covers about 6,000 square metres.
The parish was founded on 16 June 1910 by Bishop Paul Bruchési, replacing a chapel the Jesuits of the Immaculée-Conception parish had built a few years earlier and already dedicated to Saint Stanislaus Kostka. Work on the church ran from 1910 to 1912; a fire on 19 December 1917 badly damaged the building, which had to be rebuilt. The first pastor was Abbé Vincent Piette, also rector of the Université de Montréal.
