 The Miracle on Mount Royal: 100 Years of St. Joseph's Oratory |
|||
  
|
|||
In 1904 a humble Montreal monk named Brother André realized a dream: to build a shrine to St. Joseph. Pilgrims flocked there, seeking not just a place of prayer but the touch of Brother André — a man his followers believed could work miracles. A century later the shrine, St. Joseph's Oratory, attracts two million visitors every year and Brother André is one step away from being declared a saint. CBC Archives looks at his life and legacy. |
