The church is located in the old port, once the fur trade of Montreal, and is the heart station for ocean-going crew from Europe. It is said that the crew must come here to pray before setting sail, praying for a safe voyage. The church decorations are therefore many ocean-going sailing models. However, this church is more like a memory of the glorious past than the famous Notre Dame Cathedral not far away.

    This church is not far from another of the most famous Cathedral of Our Lady, but it is much smaller and belongs to the old town, but the top of the church that can be seen from a distance is also very beautiful.

    The Church of the Virgin of the Heart (translated from "Bon Scul" across the globe) has a long foreign name and is itself a long narrow building with strong French colonial colors. Originally a wooden structure, it was built in 1657 by Montreal's first priest, Marguly de Bourgeois. After many fires and reconstructions, it was finally remodeled in 1771 as the current stone church. Known for its crew, the chapel is also known as the “mother of the harbor” because of its model sailing boats hanging in its patio for safe sailing. The overall impression is that the church is beautiful and worth a serious visit.
