Deep Marian Devotion existed...
in Cap-de-la-Madeleine [tss.Québec en Montréal] since 1694...
with the institution of the Brotherhood of the Rosary under Father Paul Vachon.
In 1720, Father Vachon built a small fieldstone church to replace an earlier wooden structure. Father Vachon died in 1729, and was buried in the church. Without a resident pastor, the parish fell into decline.
It was not until 1845 that the Bishop appointed Fr. Leandre Tourigny to be the settlement’s resident priest.
In 1867, devotion to Mary was revived under Father Luc Desilets. After he had been deeply disappointed seeing a pig from nearby farms inside the church chewing a rosary left by some pilgrim, Fr. Desilets vowed to consecrate himself to the Blessed Virgin and re-introduce the rosary devotion to his parishioners.
