Andre, one of twelve children, lost both his parents at a young age. He was accepted into the Congregation of the Holy Cross at age 25 after being backed by Bishop Bourget. Devoted to St. Joseph, he would heal the sick by rubbing oil from a chapel lamp. On Mount Royal, Andre helped institute a chapel dedicated to St. Joseph, where he healed many people, and it is still in use today.
