The staff of Saint Joseph's Oratory is delighted to welcome persons with reduced mobility and to assist them during their visit. For over 50 years, the Work of PIlgrimages of the Sick has taken on this task, with the support of a team of volunteers. The ministry offers its members various activities: Prayer Services, Eucharistic celebrations, and fun times in a warm spirit of friendship.


Our meeting rooms, churches, and hospitality and lodging services are wheelchair accessible. There are two elevators available for pilgrims at the Oratory, allowing them to visit in complete safety, all the way up to the Basilica.
