St. Josephs Oratory

Perched near the top of Mount Royal, it is the most visible landmark in Montreal.  The dome of St. Josephs Oratory can be seen from almost anywhere in the eastern part of the island.

Second only to the dome at the Vatican, it is the largest church in Canada with a capacity of 1000 for a mass.  Built in the early 1900's under the supervision of Brother Andre, and completed in 1967, the Oratory has mass several times a day, and has been recognized as the site of several "miracle cures".  Crutches and walkers line the columns in the main chapel.
