During our recent visit to Montreal from January 13 - 16 Gladys and I visited the famous shrine at St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. While there we toured throughout the magnificent building and attended 12:15 Mass which was held in the Crypt Church.
One of the famous people associated with St. Joseph's is Saint Brother Andre who was canonized in 2010. There is a small chapel as well as a museum related to Brother Andre there as well.
Below are some photos we took during our visit there.
