to haye cured a number of district people through his faith -healing. At the ceremony on Sun-
day, Father A. A, Rondot, priest of the parish at the time of Brother Andre's visit; blessed
the statue and the present priest, Father I. J. Poisson, unveiled it . (T -A Photo)

special service held inside the
church. He pointed out that
Brother 'An.dre's [Oratory attracted
over 2,000;000 visitors last year,
making it second to Niagara Falls
as Canada's most popular 'tourist
attraction.
Patron Saint Of Canada
Father Bernard, who spoke in
both French and English, said it
was 'significant Brother Andre
should be associated with St. Jos-
eph because the latter is the pat-
ron saint of -Canada.
The monument was erected
through donations of parishioners
and others wh•o remembered or
benefitted from Brother Andre's
healing. The campaign was or-
ganized by Joseph Cantin, son
of Narcisse Cantin, who was host
to the "miracle man" when he
visited the ,parish,
During both visits to St. Jos-
eph, Brother Andre is reported
to have cured a number of dist-
rict residents, Protestant and
Roman Catholic alike, Mr. Cantin
says, -he remembers a severely•
crippled man 'being instantly •cur-
ed by the "miracle man" when
hevisited his father.
Healed Thousands
Born of a poor family and suf-
fering from a life-long •physical
hantdicap, Brother Andre is said
to have°Healed thousands in Mon-
treal where he established his
famous Oratory.
A protestant minister, Rev.
B'tirton. S. Robinson of Montreal
compared the healer to Joan of
Are arid Xing David in a tribute
at the time of his death in 1937.
He claimed that Protestant and
J eW as well as Roman Catholic
had a right to share "in the saint-
ly brother's spiritual heritage."
-'[One -cannot be but grateful,"
he said, "for all the testimonies
in regard to physical healing
Which came from thousands of
pilgrims who visited, talked and
prayed with the man and, in the
earlier days of the famed pilgrim-
age felt his hand upon •their
heads."
A Montreal firm, Carl' Petruc-
ci, carved the monument; Fred
Turnbull, of -Grand Bend, con-
structed the base. dt was (designed
by Joseph Cantin.
'Priests attending the ceremony
included Father A. Caron of St.
Joachim, Father Chevalier, of
Paincourt, Father Charcon of
Comber and Father Van Vynekt
of Kingsbridge. •
