This is a story of pioneering courage and compassion in the New World.

Jeanne dreamed of devoting her life to caring for others.

In 1641, she courageously gave up her comfortable middle-class life in France to journey to the French colonies, today's province of Quebec.

In overcoming incredible hardships, massacres, illness, deprivation and seven gruelling trips across the ocean, Jeanne proved to be a remarkable leader.

She ended up founding the first hospital in Montreal as well as being a pioneer and founder of the city of Montreal.
