Glorious Worcester Church Being Demolished

September 17, 2018

Notre Dame des Canadiens, a breathtaking church built in 1929 that was once home to many of Worcester’s French-Canadians, is being demolished this week.

One Worcester resident told the Worcester Telegram & Gazette:  “I feel bad for the people who built it.”

But another one is no bitter clinger.

“What do I think? I think they should demolish the institution, period, that’s what I think, as a former Catholic,” said Richard Healy, 71, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
