The church on the hill - you can see it from any direction you come in to Montreal.
Back when I was 17 we made a school trip to Quebec City and Montreal. A visit to Saint Joseph Oratory was part of the trip. The most memorable part of the trip back then was they had a "relic" - the heart of the founder. Saw bones at another church in Quebec. I can report the heart is still on show.
Lots of construction going on in the front to create a much grander entrance and exhibit areas. I definitely got my exercise walking up the hill after a long trek to get to the temporary entrance.
It is fascinating to start at the "original" church and sitting just across the street is the beautiful huge shrine that is now the focus.
