Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel

In 1655, Marguerite Bourgeoys rallied the inhabitants of Montreal to help realize her dream of building a chapel of pilgrimage within easy walking distance of the settlement. After delays and some uncertainty, in 1675 Montreal’s first stone chapel was erected.For over 350 years, the Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours, a jewel of history and heritage, has made its way into the hearts of generations of visitors and pilgrims. Free admission to the Chapel, from Tuesday to Sunday (see our Web site for more information on opening hours and periods).
