Following the charism of Saint Brother André who was known for his warm reception of people, the staff of the Pastoral Care department at Saint Joseph’s Oratory offers an environment where pilgrims can come and have someone listen to their needs and help them recover some peace of mind and a joy for living. All day long, priests, religious brothers and lay people are available for consultation.

Sometimes, sending flowers on the occasion of an anniversary or upon a death can be complicated and costly. Offering a spiritual bouquet is simpler and is just as appreciated.
All of the intentions of the person who receives the spiritual bouquet are remembered in the prayers said at Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal. It is possible to inscribe someone for one year, three years, ten years, or in perpetuity. A greeting card is available to inform the person of this gift.

Instructions 1. Make a request for spiritual bouquet cards from the Secretariat of Saint Joseph’s Oratory. (See the address below.) Be sure you indicate how many you wish for the “deceased” and how many for “other intentions.”
2. The person who is offering the spiritual bouquet sends the card to the recipient, indicating the occasion for which it is being sent.
3. Then send to the Oratory the sheet containing all the required information as well as the amount requested so that the name of the person can be added to the prayer intentions here.
Spiritual bouquets can be used on many different occasions. It’s convenient to have several cards on hand, ready to be sent as a sign of your affection and esteem for loved ones.
