This
basilica
has
my
heart!!
Brace
for
a
long
review
because
I
want
to
share
my
experience!
Also,
went
during
covid
and
on
a
Sunday
so
some
things
may
be
different
depending
on
when
you
visit.
So,
right
when
you
enter
there
is
a
parking
lot
which
is
free
parking
on
Sundays.
You
can
park
there
and
take
a
shuttle
bus
up
to
the
top
right
to
the
entrance
of
the
top
level
of
the
basilica.
Or,
you
can
walk
up,
going
up
the
stairs
enjoying
the
view!
We
attended
the
mass
at
11:30
AM
on
Sunday,
because
of
covid
there
is
only
one
entrance
to
the
basilica
for
the
mass.
If
you
don’t
want
to
attend
the
mass,
you
can
enter
through
another
entrance
which
had
a
huge
line
as
they
are
only
allowing
a
couple
of
people
at
a
time.
Once
inside,
you
can
access
the
gift
shop,
level
3
has
the
exhibits
of
St.
Brother
Andre,
level
1
has
the
votive
chapel
with
all
the
candles,
the
tomb
of
brother
Andre
and
the
crypt
church!
From
the
outside,
there
is
like
a
terrace
from
which
people
can
access
the
Garden
of
the
stations
of
the
cross.
It’s
also
the
perfect
spot
to
watch
the
sunset!
The
views
are
just
incredible.
Also,
must
visit
the
little
chapel
beside
the
basilica,
very
beautiful.
You
can
also
drive
up
in
your
own
car,
they
have
a
few
parking
spots
at
each
level.
Overall,
I
loved
this
place,
the
beauty
of
it
all
is
that
it
attracts
people
of
all
religions
and
backgrounds
-
the
power
of
St.
Joseph!
Definitely
will
be
back.
