| 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. 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. |
