Notre-Dame-de-Secours Chapel- Montreal, QC

Built in 1771, on the site of an earlier chapel, Notre-Dame-de-Secours, also known as the Sailors’ Church, is one of Montreal’s oldest churches. A popular pilgrimage site for 19th century sailors arriving in the Old Port, model ships were often donated as offerings to the Virgin Mary, in hopes of a safe voyage. Today, these model ships still decorate the church, making it one of the most unique chapels in the city.
