Discovering Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel: A place of worship, art and history

For more than 350 years, Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, a jewel of history and heritage, has found a special place in the hearts and memories of generations of visitors and pilgrims. To cross its threshold is to immediately sense its atmosphere of peace and wellness, and feel a palpable link to the Montréal of years past.

In the coming hour, we invite you to visit Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel. It will be our pleasure to help you to discover this historic chapel whose influence is closely tied to the charism of Marguerite Bourgeoys. You will find a place containing many attractions. In addition to the richness of its décor, you will be enchanted by the furnishings, paintings, votive offerings in the form of boats recalling its function as a place of pilgrimage, the “miraculous” statue and, of course, the museum.

This visit includes 19 audio stops. Please click on the button in the right hand corner at the top of this page to download the file containing the podcast. You can then transfer the file to your portable MP3 player.

We also invite you to download and print the accompanying flyer. It contains directions to the site, the list of audio stop, and diagrams of the parish property and interior of the chapel.

We invite you to discover Notre-Dame-de-Bon Secours Chapel, a place of worship, art and history!
