Picture of Brother Andre Chapel

-- The original chapel built by Brother Andre in 1904. Saint Joseph Oratory (Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal), Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The second largest dome of its kind in the world. The basilica is dedicated to Joseph of Nazareth, to whom Brother Andre credited all his reported miracles. These were mostly related to some kind of healing power, and many pilgrims (handicapped, blind, ill, etc.) poured into his Basilica, including numerous Protestants. On display in the basilica is a wall covered with thousands of crutches from those who came to the basilica and were healed. Pope John Paul II recognized the authenticity of the miracles and beatified Brother Andre in 1982.
