Built on the slopes of Mount Royal and inaugurated in 1955, St. Joseph’s Oratory owes its construction to Brother André, whose tomb can be found in the votive chapel. The nave of this immense basilica is one of the largest in Quebec. Devotion to St. Joseph draws huge crowds every year on his March 19 feast day. The Oratory is also host to seasonal organ and bell concerts as well as a renowned exposition in winter of Christmas creches from around the world.
