This is a must visit when in the Montreal area. It is a magnificent and impressive place. They do such a great job about providing information in order to fully enjoy your visit and ensure you don't miss out on any of it.
The hall of votives has thousands of candles and it is a beautiful and peaceful site. Learning about Brother Andre who drew thousands of people to him which led to miracles of people being healed. He was even named a saint in 2010. St. Jospeh's is a testament to his life and is a lovely tribute to him.
