11-24-9 Saint Josephs Oratory Of Mount Royal

Delivery to Montreal today.

Took mom along for the ride to visit another massive church of this city.

Construction on the terrace didn't allow us best view of the city. Little foggy today and grounds not in bloom so we will have to come again.
Huge basilica with smaller chapel in this building along with tomb of Brother Andre.
Lots of escalators, don't even thing about sliding down this one.

Camera couldn't really do justice to the grandness of basilica but snapped these of stain glass.




Brother Andres heart is encased here for viewing.

His body is also here.
Really a nice spot this man left for me and mom to visit today. Ground outside well landscaped but put away for oncoming Canadian winter.

Original smaller chapel behind newer larger one.
Statue to the man who had people come from far and wide for his healing powers that he attributed to Saint Joseph.
