Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel and Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum

(Local Name: Montréal - Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours and Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum) Montréal's oldest church, the Chapel of Our Lady de Bonsecours, at the end of the street, was rebuilt in its present form in 1772 after a number of fires. It replaced the original wooden building (1657) put up by the founder of the Congrégation-de-Notre-Dame, Margeurite Bourgeoys, canonized in 1982. The church long contained a miraculous little Madonna made of oak and given by the Baron de Fancamp in 1672. It was much venerated by the Congrégation de Notre Dame, and by seafarers, many of whom left offerings to the Virgin. Although today's Madonna is a copy, the offerings, including some model ships, can still be seen
