It's a really old Catholic Church with a phenomenal view of the city. I walked here from my Neiges (neighborhood) Airbnb. Worth the trip for a panoramic view of city.

Avoid coming on Sundays - it's incredibly busy! On another note, beautiful views, has both modern yet traditional architecture which makes it very beautiful! You usually have to pay for parking, so be prepared.

My birthplace is filled with beautiful churches. St. Joseph's Oratory is one of the best! This Catholic Church is one of the "must visit" destinations in Montreal. I took my wife here during the off peak season so it was not crowded. Most of the time I have been here, there have been busloads on f people.

If you start your self-tour at the bottom of the hill, then you will be burning some... plus

This was like a pilgrimage.

On a gigantic hill sits a large church with a museum dedicated to a priest named Brother Andre.

They have his waxed likeness, like the wax museum, but even creepier they even have his mummified heart in a jar with a prayer that you can say for a blessing.

This church is beautiful, and there are plenty of candles to light with a fee of course.

Along the was are... plus

This impressive pilgrimage site is very sought by Catholics from everywhere and by non-Catholic and non-religious tourists as one of the most visited site in Montreal.
Several masses on Sunday, almost by the hour till 11:15 AM. Most are in French, the 11:15 AM is in English (always packed!)
There are also masses during week days. Check their website for... plus

Always nice to come and visit Oratory with kids.
The parking now requests $5 donation which allows you to park on their ground but if you want to save that amount, you can always park on the Cote-des -Neiges/ side where there are many residential buildings. A little hike up the hill could be demanding for those not so fit... plus

It's been a long time that I haven't visit the St-Joseph's Oratory. I wanted to visit on my short trip to Montreal back in October 2014. It has changed so much (for the better of course). It is as clean as it was before, they have a brand new gift shop on the second floor. Great for souvenirs. They have... plus

This church is majestic, both on the outside as well as on the inside. It's a mix of classic cathedral in size but modern in substance, including the artwork inside the Church. The artwork is sublime, not too imposing (while some of them are huge) as is they all want to direct our attention to the glory of God whom... plus

I would highly recommend that St. Joseph's be visited before the Notre-Dame Basilica is visited. The two cathedrals are completely different and offer two completely different experiences. I wish that I had visited the Oratory before the Basilica as I could not help but be let down by the inside of the Oratory after having experienced the grandeur and sheer... plus

If you're touring around Montreal, this place is worth a visit if you can get to it. We drove up here on our last visit. It's very beautiful both inside and outside. Outside especially because of the great panoramic view. Otherwise, we probably spent less than an hour milling about.

Everyone who comes to Montreal should visit, the small church on the side is very interesting to see.

Very nice church, the biggest in Canada if I'm correct. Unfortunately, didn't get chance to get inside because it was getting darker and I was walking. But difficult to get to Oratory or back to City Center if you walk. It took me more than 2 hours and I walk fast. I have to admit, some of the parts of... plus

The church seems to have undergone some extensive outdoor renovations. It is beautiful inside - the stained glass is spectacular. To top it, the organ music is utterly divine!

We visited St. Joseph's on a gray winter day, and maybe that helped form my impressions. This is a magnificent building from the outside, in a commanding location. The cross on top of the dome, in fact, is the highest point in Montreal.
The interior, though, was austere, plain, and more like a fortress than a church. It was not... plus

It is a break for tourists who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of commercial Montreal. The dome place is a place for contemplation and remarkable for its simplicity. It gives a feeling of getting away from the city core. It is calming to be in the presence of the faithful, to behold the few climbing the... plus

When I read some travel tips and reviews about Montreal, plenty of people put this attraction in lower ranking position but I did not see why. According to my visit experience, this oratory should be worth higher recommendation other than another church in old city, while the old city one is excellent as well.
The building locates in the hill... plus

Wow... to build such monumental place so so many years ago..
In such place is a great achievement.
You must go and visit the Museum to understand what it is all about.
The effort which went into building the Basilica was huge done in many phases.
IT might not be the most rich in interior decor, but it is one... plus

if you have to choose between Notre-Dame and St. Joseph's, I'd stick with Notre-Dame. Notre-Dame is what you expect from a basilica- it's very ornate, a little gothic and absolutely beautiful. St. Joseph's is a little out of the way and a little more expensive to enter. They try to nickel and dime you for everything and are all about... plus

The building itself is certainly commanding in size, and I agree that the interior is very austere. A refreshing change from all the ornate richness of other Basilicas in this city that oozes wealth and power of their patrons.
The minimalism to me reflects Saint Brother Andrea's humility-his simplicity, humbleness and modesty.
On the day we visited, there was an... plus

Huge church with many gift shops. Did not like the electric staircases but probably necessary due to the size of the church. Nice small bus will take you back to the streets

a great view of the city and impressive architecture. a must see. climb all the way to the top to get the best view.

The third largest Dom in the world. Very different from other religious buildings seen in the past. The interior design a bit too minimalist and perhaps "too modern" for my personal taste but definitively worth a visit.

We went to visit the beautiful modern basilica (Modern for any European) and the museum with all nativity scenes from around the world. Our kids loved it, we were amazed. The family price for the museum in $9.50. Can only be a great activity around Montreal with the kids.

This place really reminds you how big a part the Catholic church used to play in Montreal.i say 'used to' because you can see the disrepair the place has fallen into... It's reflected all over the city where churches are closed all the times and being sold off to condo developments.

Beautiful Basilica. Visited during the evening and loved the magnificant building and the the view of the city.

Great place to remember St Andre, a simple and very faithful man who initiated the St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal.

There are a lot of stairs!! But the outside of the Oratory is really beautiful and offers some great photo opportunities, both of the building itself and west Montreal below. On Sunday they have organ concerts that are free (with a voluntary donation that's really voluntary) and the basilica itself is very beautiful and the organ is a wonder. It... plus

Coming from Montreal we are lucky enough to have St. Joseph's nearby, and visit her often. The Oratory glows with its incredible architecture and it's great to wander around for no good reason or stop and light a candle and give thanks, remember someone, pray for something and so on. Many Montrealers ( like myself) feel St. Joseph's Oratory is... plus

I took my family up here and we were quite happy to walk around, and spend some time here. The oratory also has St. Andre's tomb and a beautiful view from the top of the building. The building has escalators and elevators and is Handicap accessible.

Parking is 5 dollars if you are going to drive there. And there's this museum inside the church which you need to pay to have a look. I didn't go into the museum and I'm not sure what's the price for that. But other than that, everything else is pretty much free.
First of all this place is humongous. Take... plus

A very calming and serene environment. Easy to navigate with lots of signs and building staff able to help. I was grateful for the escalators - there are several levels to this monstrosity and after 3 levels of tall stairs, I was glad to see the escalators.
It is a beautiful building, but try to go in the summer when... plus

St. Joseph's is quite lovely setting up on the hill overlooking the city. The outside observation deck is perfect for pictures. The inside is quite large, with several smaller chapels in addition to the main huge basilica. The basilica itself is rather plain, yet still reverent and interesting to see. A dominant pipe organ is in the back and the... plus

my third visit to the Oratory was just as enlightening as the first two. A must if in Montreal, regardless of your spiritual beliefs.

If art deco architecture is your thing, then, you will certainly enjoy this huge church. Looks fantastic on the outside, however, the inside is kinda plain in my book (especially compared to other churches in Montreal) and harsh. However, if you keep that in mind and want to spend the day going from one side of Mont Royal to the... plus

It is one of the most beautiful attractions in Montreal,I could easily get there by the metro and it is not far from the metro station,some minutes away from the metro station.I went there on Easter and I saw some people climbing up the stairs on their knees (99 steps,I guess).Inside there were amazing different chapels and rooms with lots... plus

The view from the top of the mountain is priceless and I mean if you don't want to climb the stairs you can take the shuttle that does round trips from the bottom to the top every kind of 15 minutes. Right now in winter you should go like at 15:00 to see the view before, during and after sunset... plus

My husband and I had some extra time In Montreal and decided to check out St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. What a special treat to visit this amazing place! When we first arrived on the premises, we were astounded to see the height and expanse of it. The outdoor stairs are high and lengthy, yet we saw several people... plus

We stopped at the St Joseph Oratory on our trip in Montreal and was blown away by the beauty of the building. We were there in winter just after a snow storm that happened a couple days earlier. The snow made the views even better. The inside of the building is really beautiful and very peaceful. The whole place felt... plus

From our hotel we took the metro to Cote-Des-Neiges to visit Oratoire St-Joseph. It's the world's largest and most popular shrine dedicated to St. Joseph, Jesus' father. Seeing it for the first time I felt overwhelmed of it's grandness and beauty. As we climbed up the steps, on our feet, we saw a man climbing on his knees, rosary in... plus

During my second visit to Montreal, my brother and I had a limited time to sightsee but this was one of the of the places we needed to see. The climb up was a bit hard as I have problems with one of my ankles from an injury when I was in high school but it was worth it. The... plus

St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal is a famous Landmark in Montréal.
Some people go there to do pilgrimages. Some devoted followers climb the stairs on their knees then ask for a special favor to St-Joseph!

This church can be seen from a distance around the city. Endless steps, I believe 283 to get up there as it sits a top a little hill. Beautiful architecture and grounds, however I was a little disappointed with the interior....not what I expected. Definitely worth visiting. Area is also nice to visit, down Côte-des-Neiges street.

Very good day with my older parents,to pray and visit.the silence of the place is remarquable.what a nice day. My visit at th oratory was in 2009.. I returned in 2011 alone my mother was in the hospital, it was very pleasant for me and relaxing. You must go and visit.

A few friends had told me about coming here and I finally had a chance to see it for myself. Beautiful grounds and view from on top. I went at a very quiet time of day so not too many people were there. You could spend hours there, there were a few parks around to visit too. I walked up... plus

One of the finest Montreal's Landmarks...Just like thousand other Montrealer's and Visitors, I must admit how spiritually breathtaking this place is!

It is worth taking a walk through the oratory, beautiful workmanship and don't miss father Andre's chapel, you will probably see someone going up the steps on there knees, it is said that if ask for forgiveness or want God to listen to you you must go up on your knees.

Even though I now live in Montreal, I still sometimes stop to see St. Joseph's Oratory.
Don't forget to check out the wall of canes and ask for the story surrounding it!

One of the most beautiful churches ever... Bring water because you will be walking up... Very old and symbolic to the city of montreal... It is a must see when you come... plus

This is a must see in Montreal. Not only is there amazing historical significance it provides a fabulous panorama of Montreal. incluse this in your plans!

Of all the sights and experiences, this is a "must see". We were privileged to be hosted by a superb couple who knew their way around. The one thing that lingers in my memory is the display of crutches and walking canes that represent people who have experienced healing.

Went for a tour with a group. Really enjoyed the architecture and great views from up top. We had lunch in their cafeteria, the food was good & well priced. No air conditioning in there.

This was a very neat place to visit in the city. The Oratory, the architecture, the gardens all lead to a peaceful place of reflection and prayer. Or just meditate in silence. Worth a thoughtful visit.

Did not get off at this site. But the drive by it with the description of the steps in the middle was interesting.

Not only can you see from many points in Montreal but once there you are rewarded with awesome views. The history of its founding by Brother Andre and his dedication to building a church to celebrate Joseph, the husband of Mary, and his service to others is inspiring and touching. We loved the very much used side chapel. The stairs... plus

We took a short walk here from the place we were staying around 11 at night. Wow! It was incredible. Neither my boyfriend or I are religious, but we wanted to see the oratory as it is touted to be one of the largest churches in the world. It was beautiful. Would have been nice to see it in the daylight but our evening stroll up to the top was pretty magical and we enjoyed being the only ones... plus

Driving in from the south, the imposing dome of St. Joseph's is visible from 20 km out - the first visual confirmation that you're getting close to Montreal. For a tourist, this hulking presence is almost impossible to resist, and all the guidebooks confirm that the church is a Top 10 attraction, so of course you make time for a visit.

As you pull into the parking lot, picking your way through... plus

Location: On Queen Mary, east of Décarie Boulevard. The closest subway stops are Côte-des-Neiges (Orange) and Snowdown (Blue).

The Place: Even if you're not religious, this is still worth a visit. Situated at the top of Mount Royal, you can see the dome from a distance on a sunny day - but when you're actually AT the Oratory, the view of the city from the lookout is spectacular.... plus

Surely one of the largest and most spectacular religious structures in North America. Situated atop Mont Royal, it boasts a gorgeous view. Fascinating stories about Brother Andre (now canonized) -- I wonder what he'd think of his tiny chapel now. It's a stunningly contemporary design inside, and the organ is amazing. The votive chapel is lovely, and directly behind it is Brother Andre's tomb... plus

Absolutely beautiful. An organist was practising during our visit and it was beautiful to hear the organ.

Great view of Montreal.

A pilgrimage site that has endless steep stairways and a cathedral that is the size of most large european churches but made with modern materials and design. Worth the trip.

Awesome

Really strange to see a church of such enormous proportions built in contempory style. I loved this. The walk up is via many steep steps. We arrived just before 6 pm and the sunset view was great... plus

Nice Cathedral overlooking Montreal

Located outside the center of the city, it's a short drive to get to. We went though Mount Royal Park to reach the church, and stopped at a lookout point on the way back for some fantastic views of... plus

Beautiful place to visit, awesome place to pray. Quiet, inspiring, majestic yet humbling.

St. Joseph's Oratory is quite a sight to see in person. It's massive and spectacular. The best place I truly enjoy here is the hallway with lit candles. The many crutches hanging on both sides of this hallway has some significant meaning, The views of Montreal from the upper levels is amazing and a great photo opportunity.

The downside of this place is that over the years with so much... plus

Several years ago I visited the Oratory. I heard mass in the crypt church, lit a candle among thousands in the hallway, enjoyed the mural to St. Joseph patron of Canada, visited the different exhibits (including the nativity scenes and miraculous sites in Quebec). I also purchased holy oil from the store, and, enjoyed lunch in the cafeteria, I loved the view of Montreal. I was overwhelmed by... plus

What an absolutely beautiful and gigantic place! St. Joseph's Oratory is a gorgeous church that's built upon Mount Royal and is Canada's largest church. It basically has three sections. The first section (the one closest to ground level) is a very simple church, though it's quite long. There is a very nice section off to the left of the church where there are large areas of candles for... plus

We took advantage of UA's weekend special to visit Montreal over the weekend. The weather got bad after we book the trip and hotel. It was raining most the days we are in Montreal. After taking the bus tour to Quebec in the rain on Sunday, we planned out two different trips for Monday. One for rain one for no-rain.

No rain when we got up so we walked from our hotel and took bus 165 from Guy... plus

Jaw droping views. Stunning architectural building.

After seeing the Olympic Stadium, Old Town Montreal, and now there is the one historic church of Montreal, Canada that... I thought that, I would not see this old historic church and it was a part of our Montreal tour which the day fell on a Sunday... When, I first walked inside to the St Joseph's Oratory... I have to say that this church is really really old with the old traditional style... plus

You can spot this monument from miles away when you drive into Montreal

Yet, it remained elusive for me, and I got there late in the afternoon, my journey there was longer than required, I should have taken a train to Station Cote-des-neiges. but ended up walking 1/2 an hour more than I needed to

When I got there, the view of the Oratory was amazing from up close as much as it loomed over the... plus

A completely different experience from Notre-Dame in the old section of the city near the port, but also a must-see destination in Montreal.

This church was inspired by now sainted Andre Bessette who was a poor and not well-educated humble French-Canadian priest who devoted his life to helping the poor and the ill. Many came to see him to be cured of their ailments. Bessette started his work... plus

A beautiful place to see in Montreal. The outside is beautiful and great for walks or bike rides and the interior is one of a kind with a rich history. Be sure to go to the basement to light a candle.

Very spacious, looks like very large organ (I wish I could listen to it).

Simple interior.

I enjoy Mass in any language but it was nice be a hear it in english. Don't let the crypt fool you the basilica upstairs is like heaven. BEAUTIFUL

Nice place... Worth the view... plus

I hate exercise.

Okay, that's a lie. I hate LONG PERIODS OF EXERCISE. So I have no idea why I thought huffing and puffing my way up Mount Royal on a blisteringly warm May day was a splendid idea. But i'm glad I did.

After finally reaching the top, I decided to pop into mass - it was fantastic. Everyone is going to say that the interior of the church is dull or whatever, and I can understand... plus

Looks very impressive from the outside, but I was disappointed on the interior of the main part. Very blah. Go down to look at the heart of the guy that started it. Creepy!

Also, we were approached by people outside asking for money. One guy had a whole story about his wife having cancer and how he needed help. I wanted to tell him to go to the church and ask for help. I think he was just... plus

Perhaps it should be called St. Andre's Oratorio now that he has been canonized but I'm sure he would be too humble to want this. While not especially old, there is a lot to see at this religious site. In general, I find the interior of the main church actually is the least interesting part - it is beautiful but quite plain. If you go, take in the other portions, or do so on several visits.... plus

Fantastic view of Montreal from St Joseph's...make sure you climb up to the terraces and explore the huge church. I'm not religious so I mostly visit churches for historical or architectural curiosity, and this church falls into that category. The area with all the canes and crutches (from those who had visited and were healed) is a bit awe inspiring. This church is a little farther from all... plus

Hands down of my favourite places in Montreal! I attend mass over here! The building is huge! Great view as well! Its definitely a must!

One more star than I gave Notre Dame Basilica because I felt like this place was much more impressive. It's HUGE and you have a lot of freedom to explore and look at everything. The pilgrims going up the steps on their knees is something I've never seen before. Definitely worth a trip out to see if you're visiting Montreal.

This was the first place I visited while in Montreal. I didn't grow up Catholic or attend a church with a giant building so every time I visit churches like these, I'm at least a little amazed. We did a lot of random exploring throughout the church. I'm not going into detail about each place that we went to, but I think it's definitely worth exploring the entire building. As I've been looking... plus

Last weekend was my first visit to St Joseph's even though I've been coming to Montreal since I was a kid. I'm not a religious person so this place didn't have the same effect on my as it would for say, a practicing Catholic.

The architecture is nice and seemed very modern on the inside considering it was built in the late 20's. It's a very large building with lots of different chapels.... plus

Anyone who gives St. Joseph's Oratory less than 5 stars is going straight to hell. LOL! Just kidding... but seriously, I would confess just to be safe. This place is truly awe-inspiring and boasts beautiful views of the entire city.
Montreal holds a special place in my heart since my husband proposed to me on top of Mount Royal. The next day, before we left, we went to St. Joseph's Oratory... plus

Let me start off by saying I'm a former militant Catholic (Bible-carrying, judging other people, celibate, thinking I'm better than others, the whole nine yards) and a current bitter, cynical atheist (being an a@!%!*e, judging other people, thinking I'm better than others, being celibate but not on purpose, the whole nine yards). Reading the other reviews, I can see that most people have a... plus

Ahhh...what an amazing view of the city. I am in montreal a lot for work but only got to see this site at night...but still, what an amazing view of montreal. Definitely a must in the summer, day or night.

Can't wait to see the oratory too :)

It has become one of my favourite current, and must do visit to montreal :)

Ryan

This is only a three star for me. I'm not religious, so I didn't have the spiritual connection that some of the other visitors might of had. Also, this felt like a smaller version of the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur in Montmartre, Paris.

With that being said, this basilica offers a fantastic view of Montreal. Definitely take a gander at Brother Andre's heart that is on display. I think that was... plus

Please let me preface with saying that St. Joseph is one of my favorite saints, the other being St. Michael the Archangel. That being said, the Oratory was my Disneyland!

My boyfriend-now-husband Floyd surprised me by planning a visit up here from Boston, where we both lived at the time. We're both very active Catholics and spent hours exploring the Oratory. I've visited many basilicas in... plus

My vacation pictures can be categorized into three categories:

- Pictures of Fountains
- Pictures of Statues
- Pictures of Churches

Its almost a Pavlovic response when I'm in a foreign city and I see one of the above (I automatically take my camera out and snap, another one for my collection).

St Joseph's is not a well known attraction in Montreal, but it should be. It reminded me of Sacre... plus

St. Joseph's Oratory is a breathtaking sanctuary built by the newly canonized Saint in the Catholic Church, Brother Andre, in dedication to St. Joseph.

I've visited the Oratory many times, and each time the grand splendour of the building grasped me. Many stairs are to be climbed in order to enter, or you can drive up- the Oratory is placed in a high hill. Inside, the atmosphere is quiet &... plus

Hailing from a strict catholic background, I've seen my fair share of grande churches. I clearly had an expectation upon the drive to St. Joseph's Oratory.

Let me say that I was indeed impressed by what stood before me. It is a magnificent work of architecture only minds ahead of their time dream up. There are many ins and outs, floors, rooms and grottos located within its majestic walls.... plus

Worth visiting for the view alone. If you're so inclined, attend service. Be sure to leave a donation, and light a candle.

Even though I'm not terribly religious - I jive spiritual - there's something about the art that sends chills up my spine. This place is designed to make one feel small, and very, very mortal, and it does a good job of it.

Visit the gardens, toss a coin into the pool, and... plus

Québec Providence has many beautiful Roman Catholic Churches on the North America East Coast.

Brother André Tomb and Heart are located on the premises for public viewing. Blessed Brother André is the founder of Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount-Royal. The Basilica houses concerts, communal prayers in addition to Mass. There were no Mass in session when our bus tour group came for a very brief... plus

A staggering work of architecture, it would be worth climbing up the stairs on your knees to see it... which you can do, actually.

The Oratory has a commanding view of Montreal, a beautiful secluded path that guides you through the Stations of the Cross, and a well-manicured series of gardens. Even if you are not there to appreciate it on a religious level, you'll find something aesthetically... plus

St. Joseph's is a massive, gorgeous church. Aesthetically beautiful and a must-go tourist spot. Climb the bazillion stairs if you dare but you won't be sorry. Views from the top are exquisite. Also, definitely make sure you tour through the Garden of the Stations of the Cross. Breathtaking even for nonreligious heathens like me. Definitely go inside and tour the basilica too if you can. Lovely... plus

Saint Joseph Oratory after 20 years later

My parent came to US over 25 years, one of they dream it to go to Saint Joseph Oratory but it long drive for us. This summer I will promise take my parent and my family go to visit ........to cure my parent health.... plus

This is a huge church. I'm told it's the biggest Catholic church in North America. We stopped by just for a visit and walked around. It's humongosaur. Definitely not as fancy and elaborate as all the churches I've seen in Europe, but it's definitely one of the biggest. There are a ton of stairs to climb up, which we bypassed because we drove up to the top. Up the stairs inside the church they... plus

I really have a hard time believing I am the first to review this. This was an exceptional place to visit. Built in the 1960s, it's a shrine dedicated to Jesus' father, Saint Joseph, by the Brothers of the Congregation of the Holy Cross. It seems one of the monks, Brother Andre (who dreamed of this place) also was known for his curative miracles and people from all over Canada and the world... plus

I would put 4-5 stars if I was religious. From a esthetic point of view, all tourist will visit at the very least one Catholic Church. I'd suggest this one if you want to see an amazingly huge church. Last time I went, we climbed the stair like lot of curious people wanting to push theirselve to the maximum. There's about 200-300 stairs easy. for Elder/ Disable / Inactive people not so... plus

powerful healing

This is a most holy place. All are welcome. Thank you St. Joseph, and Father Andre.

Feeling pain in those knees? Can't walk straight due to back pain? There's a room in the oratory covered with crutches from the thousands of people who have made pilgrimages and was purportedly cured. But if making your way up 100 steps on your knees is not your thing, take the escalator and enjoy the view from this gorgeous basilica.

The church museum has a display of nativity scenes from all... plus

Great plaec to visit and pray!!!

St. Joseph Oratory is great, you catch a great view of the city on top of the Oratory, the staff are friendly and very nice.

Returning this July.

I really loved it. Do not only take the bus tour that only shows you the outside. You must go inside. It was something to see. Especally all the canes left by the people that were healed there. Make sure you not only see the church on the main floor. Take the time to go up to the very top floor to see the church built up there. Also see the small church that was built by Brother Andre.

Go!

St Joseph's Oratory is a must see for the faithful. There are a lot of stairs to climb but there are now escalators. People have been rumored to be cured in the Oratory. There's a gift shop where you can get holy oil and water. The oratory is magnificent.

Beautiful!!

What a place! It is huge! Makes one wonder how it was built so long ago. There wasn't the technology that we have today. Truly a work of God. Worth the visit. You go up these long stairs and up and up to the top and look out over the city. Breathtaking at sunset!

Breathtaking!!!!!!

I went to Montreal to visit Trois Rivieres and Notre Dame du Cap which was wonderful. Little did I know about St. Joseph's. It was an overwhelmingly beautiful experience. I am Catholic but have never experienced anything like the examples of faith that were there. The votive chapel is awesome. I didn't want to leave it. It gave one the sense that nothing is impossible. The Way of the Cross is a... plus

Beautiful!

Although I am not of the Catholic faith, the visit to St. Josephs was very nice. The view from the front was beautiful. A must see for people of any faith!

If you do have the spirit before you enter...you will when you leave

This is the greatest place in Montreal to get the spirit!!!! Just walkng through this church and seeing all the healing that went on there give you goosebumps. So much to see. Please don't miss this experince.
