  • 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 asshole, 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 religious or non-religious bias, which is understandable. I'm here to tell you that I've been to both sides, and as biased as it's going to be anyway, I will tell you about this place straight up for what it is. First off, this is one of the most underrated tourist attractions in Montreal. I don't know why the hell people don't flock to this place like crazy. When you first see it, the utter immensity of it hits you straight in the skull. The sheer manpower it took to construct this beautiful piece of art is just jaw-dropping. The first time I went I actually had to pick up my jaw off the floor. OFF THE FLOOR. It took 12 hours to surgically re-attach it at the Jewish General Hospital afterwards. THAT'S HOW HUGE AND POWERFUL IT IS. All joking aside, this place will have an impact on you. I've been to it over 50 times. This is not an exaggeration. Go on a Sunday morning, when pilgrims from many different countries (as well as from here) go up the steps on their knees, praying at each step. Whether or not you are Catholic or believe in God, you can witness the power of religion and its positive effect on people here. You will see a beautiful view of the northern part of the city from the top. Inside you will see beautiful architecture and can get a tour of the grounds and insides. There's a small little "tunnel" in the back where the ventilation vents out, and it smells like Bibles. Go ahead and check it out. You'll know exactly what I mean. It's interesting to see the old church Saint Andre built before the Oratory was constructed as well. Although St-Joseph's Oratory is closed at night, you can walk around and/or go up the stairs for a mind-blowing view at anytime. I would, in fact, recommend doing that at least once. It is one peaceful place.
