Quebec. Upon arrivals, we will be met by our Holy Land Travel
Center Representative. After formalities, we transfer to our hotel

DAY 2
Quebec City
This morning we head on a walking tour of Old Quebec City where we will enjoy the charm of the French Settlement of North America. From the Latin Quarter to the plains of the famous Chateau Frontenac. Free time for lunch before we head to the Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec. Here we Celebrate Mass. We then continue to the beautiful shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre. This is Canada’s most famous Shrine and place of pilgrimage. Dedicated to St. Anne, by the Jesuit Fathers in 1657, the sanctuary is in a small village near St. Lawrence River. The stones of this beautiful church whisper to all who come here of the joys, happiness, hopes, fears, pain and suffering of all those who came before to place their prayers before the Lord, His Blessed Mother and His Grandmother. You have time to attend Mass at the Basilica, place your petition at the base of St. Anne’s beautiful statue, attend Adoration and prayers for the sick, pray the Stations of the Cross or spend time in the Memorial Chapel. As an act of penance, many pilgrims go up the Holy Stairs on their knees. Tonight, we join in the Candlelight Procession.

DAY 3
Montreal
This morning we depart Quebec and take our first top at the breathtaking Montmorency Falls for a picture stop. We then continue on to Trois-Rivieres to visit Canada’s National Shrine to Our Blessed Mother. The Shrine of Cap de la Madeleine is a marvelous shady park that surrounds a beautiful small stone church. This old church bears witness to three centuries of the religious life of people of Capde-la-Madeleine. Each year, 550,000 Christians worldwide join in a pilgrimage acknowledging the presence of the Virgin Mary in their life and ask her motherly protection. The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, who are in charge of this Shrine, have erected an impressive basilica whose lines are similar to the American Indian wigwams. You tour the Shrine, celebrate Mass, say the Rosary at the Bridge of Rosaries, see the Gardens of Our Lady. We then continue to Montreal.
Overnight: Montreal (B, D)
DAY 4
Montreal
We start with a visit to St. Joseph’s Oratory
which grew from a small chapel on beautiful Mount Royal to the premier Shrine dedicated to St. Joseph, and one of the world’s most visited shrines. The basilica’s huge dome reaches 97 meters and is second only in height to Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The sheer size of it contrasts sharply with its frail founder, Brother André, the humble doorkeeper who had initiated its construction in 1904. The shrine consists of a primitive chapel, a votive chapel, a crypt and a basilica large enough to accommodate 10,000 worshippers. Relics of Brother André and many ex-voto of miraculously cured pilgrims are exhibited. The basilica’s great organs and 52 bell chimes will occasionally rekindle solemn works of great composers. You have a tour of the
Oratory and time for the Way of the Cross on the mountainside. Following Mass, you become acquainted with this cosmopolitan city, and its European flavor. See such sights as: BNP/Laurentian Bank Tower, the famous Mount Royal Hotel, Molson Centre the home of the Montreal Canadian Hockey team, Palais des Congress convention center, Place des Arts heart of Montreal’s cultural life, Dorchester Square, Sainte Catherine Street, Old Montreal downtown shopping and commercial center. Overnight: Montreal (B, D)
