Montreal parish works to preserve historic downtown church

St. James United Church in downtown Montreal has served as a place of worship and community since the late 1800s. The parish is now trying to raise funds to cover costly maintenance and repairs as expenses continue to grow. Church leaders say the building needs millions of dollars in work, but the ministry does not have the money to handle it on its own. The situation has put the future of the historic church in question, even as it remains an important landmark in the city center.
