| 説明 | The Chapel Our Lady of Good Help, located at 400 Rue Saint Paul East, is one of the oldest churches in Montréal. Nonetheless it was not the first to be built on the site. That was a small chapel built between c1655 and c1675 at the behest of Marguerite Bourgeoys, a one-time nun who became the founder of the congregation of Notre Dame of Montréal in the colony of New France. The destruction by fire of the first chapel in 1754 prompted the construction of the present church between 1771 in 1773. Although it’s known that Joseph Morin, a stonemason, and Pierre Raza, a carpenter, were largely responsible for the building of the chapel the architect is unknown. The importance of this this small chapel and the area in which it is located is witnessed by the fact that a 147-page book has been written on the subject. Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours: une chapelle et son quartier by Patricia Simpson and Louise Pothier was published in 2001.The chapel now houses a museum celebrating the life of Marguerite-Bourgeoys. It was opened to the public in May 1998. |
