The Life of Venerable Marguerite Bourgeoys: Foundress of the Congregation de Notre Dame of Montreal is a biography written by John Gregory Murray. The book tells the story of Marguerite Bourgeoys, a French Catholic nun who founded the Congregation de Notre Dame in Montreal in the 17th century. Bourgeoys was born in France in 1620 and became a nun at the age of 20. She traveled to Canada in 1653 to help establish a mission in Ville-Marie (now Montreal). Bourgeoys quickly became a respected member of the community and was instrumental in the education of young girls in the area. She founded the Congregation de Notre Dame in 1658, which focused on the education of young girls and the care of the sick and elderly. The book details Bourgeoys' life and work, including her struggles with illness and opposition from the church hierarchy. Murray also explores the historical context of Bourgeoys' life, including the role of women in the church and the early colonization of Canada. The Life of Venerable Marguerite Bourgeoys is a fascinating look at the life of a pioneering woman who made significant contributions to the education and welfare of her community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
