March 5: OUR LADY OF GOOD HELP
Dedicated to Our Lady of Good Help, Notre Dame de Bonsecours for 350 years has been the sanctuary for seamen leaving Montreal for the seven seas. A wooden chapel was built in 1657; replaced in 1675 by a building whose foundations serve the present church which was erected in 1771.
Over the entrance is inscribed: “If the love of Mary is graven in your heart, forget not a prayer in passing.” Our Lady of Good Help is a beautiful little church with fine paintings. On the walls are mosaics of Marguerite Bourgeoys, who inspired the first chapel; and of Maisonneuve, founder of Montreal, said to have felled the first oak for the chapel.
A narrow stairway lined with pilgrims’ acknowledgments leads to an aerial chapel set in the roof. Here is a facsimile of the Santa Casa, the house of the Virgin reputedly carried by angels from Nazareth to Loretto.
