Make your way to your local airport to board your flight(s) to Montreal International Airport. Arrive in Montreal, the second largest French-speaking city in the world. Upon your arrival you will be greeted by your tour escort and driver, and then embark on the sightseeing tour of Montreal. Visit the seat of the Archdiocese of Montreal, the Cathedral of Marie Reine du Monde (Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral), the third largest church in Montreal after St. Joseph's Oratory and the Basilica of Sainte Anne de Beaupre. This basilica was visited in 1951 by Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini, the future Pope Paul VI. In August of 1969, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II, visited the cathedral. John Paul II returned in 1984 as the first pope to visit Canada. Next we will visit St. Patrick's Basilica, built in the 19th century to serve the Irish immigrants to Montreal. Our next stop will be the 350-year old Notre Dame de Bon Secours Chapel, where the tomb of St. Marquerite Bourgeoys is located. The chapel, built in 1771 over the site of the original stone chapel, was often visited by sailors to pray before they were shipped out for duty. Following Mass we will enjoy lunch in the local restaurant and then continue with the visit of Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum. The story of St. Marguerite Bourgeoy's exceptional life with the early settlers who built Montreal is beautifully presented in the museum named after her.

The Oratory was founded by St. Andre Bessette in 1904 as a modest chapel. Annually, this pilgrimage center receives more than two million visitors who come to meditate and pray in this peace-filled setting. The Oratory of St. Joseph grew from a small chapel on beautiful Mount Royal to the premier shrine of today. The basilica's dome reaches 97 meters and is second only in height to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The primitive chapel, votive chapel, crypt, and basilica presents a variety of architectural styles as the construction began in 1904 and finished in 1966.

This basilica plays a significant part in Montreal's religious heritage. Constructed from 1824 to 1829, it dominates Old Montreal with its imposing size. The Neo-Gothic architecture and richness of its decoration inside and out make it shine like a jewel in comparison to the modern buildings nearby.
