Sanctuary of Repairing the Sacred Heart and Padre Pio

Sanctuary of Repairing the Sacred Heart and Padre Pio, Catholic sanctuary in Pointe-aux-Trembles, Montreal, Canada.

The Sanctuary of the Reparation to the Sacred Heart and Padre Pio is a religious complex on Boulevard De La Rousselière in Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles. It includes the 1910 Reparation chapel, whose tympanum statues of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Margaret Mary were made by Armand Filion in 1946, a 1921 Capuchin monastery, and a 1959 chapel of concrete, steel and wood seating 1,500 under 35-metre beams.

Marie Hébert de La Rousselière founded the sanctuary in 1896 on her brother-in-law André Brisset des Nos's estate, having left France because of anti-clericalism; the wooden chapel Notre-Dame-des-Oliviers burned in 1905 and was rebuilt in 1910. Mgr Paul Bruchesi named it a Eucharistic pilgrimage site in 1913, and a tramway brought pilgrims during the 1910s. Capuchin friars took charge in 1921, and the site was also dedicated to Padre Pio in 2003.

The name "Reparation" refers to repairing damage done to the Catholic religion, a devotion rooted in the anticlericalism in France that drove founder Marie Hébert to emigrate to Canada. The site was named a Eucharistic pilgrimage place by Bishop Paul Bruchesi in 1913, and since 2003 it has also been dedicated to Saint Padre Pio, a Capuchin friar bearing the stigmata to whom several miracles are attributed.

The sanctuary stands at 3650 De La Rousselière Boulevard in Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles, at the eastern tip of Montreal. The chapels, monastery and the wooded grounds with the Stations of the Cross are spread over the site, so allow time to walk between them. A building near the entrance serves as a reception area and sells devotional objects.

The Scala Santa chapel, built in 1905 by architect Joseph Arthur Godin, was among Quebec's first reinforced-concrete structures. Its galvanized-steel dome is pierced by eight rosette-shaped dormer windows and topped by a Byzantine bulb bearing a cross. A stair modelled on Rome's Scala Santa leads up to a life-size sculpted Last Supper.
