Photosynthesis,

How dare you steal my patron! :P

My patron is St. John of the Cross.

I don't have an jpg image of St.Andre though... :(


You walk into the oratory and its like walking through the gates of heaven itself. Few things I have seen are more inspiring.


Of course, St Micheal!

God's 'go-to angel' when trouble starts to stir! Gotta love him!


St Jospeh, aka 'the Dad' as I like to call him

The least talked about of the holy family, but definately was essential to Jesus' mission!


Virgin Mary, aka 'The mom' as I like to call her.

Whenever you need a moment of silence to regain strenght, she's always there.


Maybe not officially a saint just yet, but JP the Great! aka; 'my papa' as I like to call him.

The modern day giant that lead the world with the unwavering message of truth.


And last, of course, one who is loved by countless through the centuries, the first to be stigmatic.... you guessed it, St-Francis of Assisi!

The smallest amongst everyone, made great through his faith in the Lord.


Oh, and a special mention to Mere Marie-Rose, bienheureuse (beatified). she carried my family through some tough times...

My confirmation Saint is Francis of Assisi, who I heart.

My "patron" Saint, the one I look to for advise and whose intercession I deeply depend on:

St. Anselm of Canturbury, Doctor of Scholasticism :D

The saint I pray to everytime I go to Mass is St. Michael the Archangel.

Angels are so cool, thus the name.

Hmmm....should get a picture of the inside of St. Joseph's Oratory, it's so beautiful.

ps, if you had a photo of St. Andre but it wasn't jpeg, you could change the file to a jpeg ;)

Thanks Dudette, that's the guy. i just could not search an image of him (I ain't no computer pro)... He healed thousands upon thousands... his funeral is seen as the biggest in Canadien history (Rocket Richard's funeral came close... but Fr.Andre has him beat hands down).

As for the inside of the oratory... i recommend anyone to just google the images... there are tons of them... It is one of the finer places in Catholicism... Canada's own 'NotreDame'. *sigh*

I love the Oratory of St. Joseph. I visited there with a whole bunch of people while in Quebec for WYD 2002. My friend Elicia and I walked all the way up to the top. We had to stop every so often because she has bad knees, I was very proud of her for being able to go all the way up. We walked in and got about halfway through when we started looking around like we were tourists. Both of us looked at each other and we were like, "This is absolutely gorgeous!" It was so sublime and so simple. I wish I could go back. I wouldn't mind getting married there. I loved the chapel with all of the candles. My pictures don't do it justice.
