Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal (French:
Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal) is
a Roman Catholic minor basilica and national shrine on Westmount Summit in Montreal,
Quebec. It is Canada's largest church.
The basilica enshrines a statue of Saint Joseph, which was authorised a Canonical
coronation by Pope Pius XII on 31 July 1955, now located within its crypt
department. The shrine is also famous due to its association with Brother Andre
Bessette who was believed to possess healing powers through his Josephian
devotion with its notable oil oinment given freely to its believers.
