Guided Tours



So Much to Discover!


Whether you come by yourself, with your family, in a group, on a school field trip, or with your confraternity, Saint Joseph's Oratory has so many wonderful things to discover and share. Different guided tours are available which trace the life and work of Brother André in developing the shrine. Or, take part in the Music and Spirituality tour, a half-day program guiding you in the appreciation of religious music and song. You can make a prayer-tour of the shrine using one of our Pilgrim for a Day or Pray with Brother André leaflets. To say nothing of the artistic, cultural, and mueum discoveries you can take advantage of, tailored to the needs and tastes of your group. Our religious heritage can become part of your religious heritage!
