At the Heart of St. Mary's: A History of Montreal's St. Mary's Hospital Centre
|
| Abstract |
In January 1930, Dr. Donald Hingston and Sister Helen Morrissey set out to raise one million dollars to build a hospital to serve Montreal's Irish-Catholics. In spite of The Depression, the Irish community supported their endeavors. The hospital began as a 45-bed institution formally established in the Shaughnessy House in downtown Montreal, (now the Canadian Centre for Architecture). In 1934, the hospital moved to its present 271-bed building, once described as a "monument to English Catholicism in Montreal", located on Lacombe Avenue in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district. According to the author, the history of St. Mary's Hospital is a "startling (story) of disappointment, perseverance, power struggles, political infighting, linguistic turmoil and extraordinary resilience, often in the face of outright hostility."
