Over the course of the seventeenth century, thirty-three instances of miraculous intercession attributed to Saint Anne were recorded and preserved at the church of Sainte-Anne-du-Petit-Cap, Quebec. An analysis of these reports of miraculous intercession that attends to both the narrative and performative dimensions of miracle stories suggests that the events held an important place within the emerging colonial community, at once conveying and constructing an understanding of the community as governed by the providence of God, aligned with French national interests, and ordered under the authority of the post-Tridentine Catholic Church
