Description

When Brother André died in 1937 he left behind the fulfillment of his lifelong dream: the construction of a church in honour of St Joseph. Located on the side of Mount Royal, this museum in the magnificent St Joseph's Oratory holds Brother André's heart, as well as a collection of more than 300 nativity scenes from all over the world. You will also find discarded crutches, walking sticks and wheelchairs left behind by those who felt themselves healed through Brother André's intercession.
