History

Collège Ste-Marie was founded by Jesuits in 1848. It had an English sector, which called the school St. Mary's College but later became separate in 1896 as Loyola College. Ste-Marie never issued degrees. It relied on its affiliation with chartered universities to grant degrees but had full curriculum control. Ste-Marie was originally affiliated with Université Laval until 1920, when it was affiliated with Université de Montréal. The college originally offered secondary education as well as collegial studies.

Church

Main article: Church of the Gesù (Montreal)

A portion of the original college remains as the Église du Gesù (Church of Gesu, named after the church where St. Ignatius of Loyola is buried), which was originally the college chapel. Built in 1865 and designed by Irish architect Patrick Keely, it is one of the oldest religious buildings in Montreal.[1] Also housed in the structure is the Salles du Gesù, Montreal's oldest theatre.
