  L’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal L’Oratoire
  
  This is where we went to mass on Christmas Day. As you can tell by the sky, it was a very cold day! The entrance was quite a way up from the parking lot also which made for a brisk walk!
  
  
  
  Off to the left of the crypt where mass was held, was the votive chapel. There were at least 6 alters, this being the largest where you could light votive candles and pray. Pilgrims who had been cured either left their crutches and or prostheses here. Ten thousand vigil lights and lamps burn in front of the statue of Saint Joseph. It was a wonderful place to be in.
  
  I’ll post a few more photos tomorrow of the grounds. It is really a beautiful place.
