Saint Joseph's Oratory

Saint Joseph's Oratory lit up at night.

What started out as a small chapel has since become one of the world’s most visited sacred spaces and one of Montréal’s most iconic landmarks.  Rising majestically above the cityscape is Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal. It is the largest sanctuary dedicated to Saint Joseph and one of the world’s most visited pilgrimage sites with over 2 million visitors per year.  There are 233 steps leading up to the front of the church and some pilgrims climb those steps on their knees as they pray to St. Joseph.
