The Heritage Window (Located in Right Tower of church) was designed by Studio du Verre and unveiled on September 13, 2006. The Heritage Window is a permanent witness to the present-day ministry of St. James. The flame is a symbol of Moses encountering God in the Burning Bush (a reminder that he was walking on holy ground), and the Pentecostal Flame (the outpouring of God’s spirit on the Church). The Heritage window cost is approximately $25,000. Members, adherents, and friends of St. James were invited to step into its history by contributing to offset the cost. A Dedication Book was established and all donations were listed. Contributions could be made in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a special event. Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $10.

The New Unitarian Church of Montreal

Today, the grounds where the original church stood (on Corner of Sherbrooke and Simpson Streets) has been leveled and plans for a 12-storey condominium project are already in progress. The first link below talks about the condominium project plans (then & now). The 2nd link is the website to the new Unitarian Church of Montreal, which is alive & flourishing.
