Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys was a French-Canadian missionary and educator who founded the Congregation of Notre Dame of Montreal, establishing the first uncloistered religious community in North America. Born on April 17, 1620, in Troyes, France, she arrived in New France in 1653 at the invitation of Governor Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve to educate settlers’ children in Ville-Marie (now Montreal). Overcoming harsh conditions, she opened the first school in 1658, taught Indigenous and French girls, and built the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel. Known as the "Mother of the Colony," she died on January 12, 1700, after a life of service marked by resilience and charity. | Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys was a French-Canadian missionary and educator who founded the Congregation of Notre Dame of Montreal, establishing the first uncloistered religious community in North America.
