Saint Sauveur Cathedral

Saint Sauveur Cathedral is a Byzantine Revival building on Boulevard de l'Acadie in Montreal, featuring rounded arches, domed structures, and detailed ornamentation. The interior combines Byzantine visual elements with contemporary church design and holds about 700 worshippers.

The cathedral was built in 2006 and dedicated in 2007, marking a milestone for the Melkite community after more than a century of presence in North America. The modern structure honors Byzantine architectural principles while serving as the culmination of decades of community growth.

The cathedral serves as the spiritual center for the Melkite Greek Catholic community, where worship practices blend Middle Eastern traditions with Canadian life. Visitors can experience the religious heritage of this community through its liturgical celebrations and daily services.

The building is accessible to visitors during regular services held throughout the week and on weekends. Its location on Boulevard de l'Acadie in Montreal makes it easy to reach by public transportation.

The Basilian Fathers of the Holy Savior established the first Melkite Catholic presence in North America, laying the groundwork for this cathedral decades later. This heritage shows how an Eastern Church tradition has deep roots in Canada.
