Faith
Saint Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal is a Roman Catholic basilica and national shrine on Mount Royal that grew from a tiny chapel founded in 1904 by Brother André Bessette into one of North America’s most important Catholic pilgrimage sites. Expanded over about six decades by several architects and thousands of workers, it combines a Renaissance Revival exterior with an Art Deco interior and features one of the world’s largest church domes. Closely associated with Brother André’s healing reputation and later sainthood, it remains an active place of worship, a major city landmark, and one of Montreal’s most visited religious destinations.
