MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 04/30/12 -- Editors Note: There is an image associated with this press release.

Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal introduces its new iPhone tourism app, available in English, French and Spanish-a first in Canada for a place of worship. This new tool is the ideal virtual guide, providing exclusive historical content to enhance your experience at the sanctuary.

Developed in partnership with a Montreal-based startup company, Heritage Software, the app helps bring history to life, by revisiting pivotal moments in the history of the Oratory and its founder, Saint Brother Andre, accompanied by new photos and never-before-published texts.

It is perfectly in keeping with the Oratory's ongoing efforts to reach out to all members of the community. According to its Facebook page, Twitter account and blog, the mobile tourism app is the latest in a line of tools designed for the modern visitor.

It uses a simple, user-friendly interface to enable visitors to explore six important locations on the site: the Crypt Church, Votive Chapel, museum, Basilica, Brother Andre's Chapel and gardens.

Pilgrims will be pleased to learn that, in addition to guiding them during their visit, the app offers prayers to Saint Joseph and Saint Brother Andre, as well as the schedule of masses at the Oratory.

The app can be purchased for $2.99. To download it, go to www.saint-joseph.org or the App Store (on the Apple website). It is compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, and requires iOS 5 or later.
