Light a Votive Candle Thanks to Gabriel

NO NEED TO COMMUTE

Would you love to make a prayer and light a votive candle for a loved one, but can't come to the Basilica in person? It's possible to do so from your smartphone with the Gabriel app by Vendalite. Light a candle remotely by selecting the Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica. Ah, the marvel of technology!

Please note that Mass is given in French only.   

The Basilica welcomes you every day. Let us celebrate and live our faith together.
