English: In 1849, the Bishop of Montreal, gave the chapel a statue of the Virgin as Star of the Sea, which was placed atop the church overlooking the harbour. Emphasizing the connection of the chapel and the port, the chapel is often called the Sailors' Church.
The Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, ”Our Lady of Good Help") is one of the oldest churches in Montreal, it was built in 1771 over the ruins of an earlier chapel. St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, the first teacher in the colony of Ville-Marie and the founder of the Congregation of Notre Dame, organized the colonists to build a chapel in 1655. The stone church was completed in 1678. After Montreal was conquered by British forces, Irish and Scottish troops attended services with their families. In the 19th century, the chapel came to be a pilgrimage site for the sailors who arrived in the Old Port of Montreal; they would make offerings to the Virgin in gratitude for her "good help" for safe sea voyages. In 1849, the Bishop of Montreal, gave the chapel a statue of the Virgin as Star of the Sea, which was placed atop the church overlooking the harbour. Emphasizing the connection of the chapel and the port, the chapel is often called the Sailors' Church. In 2005, Marguerite Bourgeoys's mortal remains were brought back to the church, where she now lies in the sanctuary. |
