St. Joseph's Oratory Accomodation We had a family re-union in Montreal on the long weekend in August and booked the oratory accomodation for three families. The person managing the accomodation was terrible. He had to remove our shoes while going up the stairs to our room, the children were not allowed to speak in the hallway. One the children fell... more

This is a great place to visit especially if you consider yourself a religious person. The oratory is not only interesting because of the museum of Brother André (be sure to pick a leaflet that tells his story) but also because of the outstanding view of the city of Montreal. You don´t have to pay to see the museum or... more

We stopped by this church on our way out of town and I am so glad that we did. It would have been a shame to leave Montreal without seeing this inspiring sight. This basillica is second only to Saint Peter's Basillica in Rome in size. It is an impressive church inside and out surrounded by peaceful gardens. Perched on... more

My family visited St. Joseph's Oratory during a Montreal trip in June 2007. Since we took the subway, we came to the oratory at street level, and to get to the church, had to walk up a large number of steps.

This was the highlight of our visit to Montreal. The Oratory was magnificent, the views fantastic, and it was effortless getting to the top as the escalators did all the hard work. Well worth including this in your itinerary. As a non Roman Catholic, the whole experience was restful and uplifting. Don't miss this! more

I loved the Oratory!! It was beautiful! The place is awe-inspiring. The oratory is huge and there is so much to see. You can't go wrong here. There are views of the city that you won't see anywhere else in Montreal. Come ready to walk (there are lots and lots of stairs). This is definitely a Montreal must see. more
