Our Canadian pilgrimage rightfully ends at St. Joseph's Oratory on Mt. Royal in Montreal as we honor the Universal Patron and Protector of the Catholic Church, families and workers. Your faith will be enriched in so many ways as we pray together at Mass in the Crypt Church beside the Votive Chapel.It is here that our pilgrims can visit the immense votive chapel to light candles for their intentions, and venerate the tomb of Saint Andre Bisset who dedicated his life to spreading devotion to St. Joseph. Many miracles and healings were received through the sincere faith of Saint Andre and the unfailing intercession of St. Joseph.

Our guided tour will take you through the magnificent St. Joseph's Oratory where you will discover through religious art, sacred architecture and the holy ground of Saint Andre's chapel and museum, the splendor of God's love for each of us. You will be inspired to offer thanks to the Creator of such beauty as you witness the majestic view of the city of Montreal from the highest point on Mount Royal on the steps of the Oratory.

It all began in 1870 with the true story of humble Saint Andre and his vision of erecting a shrine to honor St. Joseph. His great faith and heroic efforts tirelessly paved the way to bring about the completion of the largest shrine dedicated to St. Joseph. What an inspiration Saint Andre is to all of us! Like St. Joseph, he shows us that a simple faith can and did move mountains!!! May we join Saint Andre by praying to St. Joseph to intercede for us for all our personal intentions as we continue our earthly pilgrimage when we return home to our families and friends.
