The tomb of
Brother André, found in
Saint Joseph's Oratory, a
Roman Catholic basilica on the northern slope of
Mount Royal in
Montreal,
Quebec,
Canada. In 1904, Brother André began the construction of a small chapel on the side of the mountain near
College Notre-Dame, which was replaced by a larger church in 1917 and the current basilica in 1967, which is dedicated to
Saint Joseph, to whom Brother André credited all his reported miracles. These were mostly related to some kind of healing power, and many pilgrims (handicapped, blind, ill, etc.) were allegedly healed.
Pope John Paul II deemed the miracles to be authentic and
beatified Brother André in 1982.
