Sunday, July 14 : Organ Concert

The Votive Chapel is a place of devotion and ardent prayers where 10,000 votive candles shine before Saint Joseph.

The Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, occupies a special place in the life of Brother André. Moved several times, since 2011 she welcomes pilgrims and visitors to the heart of the rock on which the shrine dedicated to her husband, Joseph, is built.

Named in honour of the founder of the Oratory and inaugurated on March 7, 2013, the Saint André Bessette Chapel features a display of electronic lanterns surmounted by an icon of Saint Brother André.

The heart of Brother André is the symbol of his love for God and of his compassion toward all the people who came to him. This beloved relic evokes the interior life and feelings which animated the holy religious in his ministry of welcome, compassion, and healing.

Many donors join the program because it’s practical and efficient. By becoming an Artisan of the Oratory, you are part of a community mobilized to offer a source of stable income to the Oratory.

Every donation is important and helps to support the work of Saint Brother André. With your support, the Oratory continues to be a high place of spirituality, culture and nature.

Support the continuation of the work of Saint Brother André with a planned gift to Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal – a gesture today for building the future.

A gift to pay tribute to a deceased loved one is also an act of great generosity to support Saint Joseph’s Oratory.

Support our work toward a more accessible and greener site. Development of the dome, new museum and welcome centre are among the components of the project to ensure the sustainability of the Shrine’s heritage.
