For over 350 years, the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel has made its way into the hearts of generations of visitors and pilgrims. As you step into the church, you will immediately notice the peaceful atmosphere and feel a palpable link to Montreal’s past. The first chapel was originally a site of pilgrimage. The actual chapel, built in 1771, was constructed directly on top of the first stone chapel whos foundations were recently uncovered. This is also the site where officers of the British regime considered setting up barracks to house the military. It is a silent witness to the faith of Montrealers who rebuilt a chapel when it seemed impossible.

History is palpable at the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, which was built in 1771 over the ruins of an earlier church destroyed in a fire, and is among the oldest chapels in Montreal. Because of its location near the Old Port and its historical relevance to sailors as a pilgrimage site, the chapel is commonly known as the Sailors’ Church. The site is also the home of the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum, which honors the woman who was Montreal’s first teacher and the founder of the original Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours. A lookout at the top of the chapel provides a stunning view of the Old Port.
