  Impressive facility. The steps up are a prayerful experience (would recommend going up on your knees). The lower crypt church is beautiful with incredible stained glass windows. There are hundreds of candles burning before the many titles and patronages of St. Joseph, as well has the simple resting place of St. Andre. The upper church is quite different, but impressive in its size. It has a different feel, much darker and somber. The grounds are beautiful as well. My wife and I walked and prayed the Stations. Ample parking, but may be a hike. Be ware of buses too.

  Didn’t know what I was expecting but when we arrived we were blown away. Absolutely gorgeous. They hope to do renovations so the has an exhibit right when you entered the Crypt Chapel. It was super helpful to get to know this places unique story. Really a must see in Montreal too. Very cool!

  Very impressive because its so big .Go there more often. You can spend an easy 6 hours here. Research it before you go on the internet. This is a MODERN cathedral despite the fact it looks old. Stay for a service even if you are not Catholic. Don't miss the Stations of the Cross. I am not Catholic and enjoyed it.You always enjoy going there and visiting.

  Claimed to be the biggest church in Canada (Prayers areas are small but they have multiple prayers areas). It's not like traditional Basilica. Structure of one of the prayers hall is contemporary (simple but beautiful). Entrance is free (they should charge some fees though). Have a couple of food places in there for quick bites. View from top is beautiful (It can be very breezy).

  Widoczna z daleka, potężna kopuła świątyni zachęca do odwiedzenia tego pięknego miejsca. Ale jest też mały minus: oznakowanie miejsc mogło by być lepsze, natomiast wnętrze samej bazyliki wygląda na niewykończone. Mimo tych niedogodności warto odwiedzić kompleks Oratorium, jak również drogę krzyżową w malowniczym parku.
