The Marguerite Bourgeoys Historic Site is offering visitors a new exhibition called Nuns, Teachers and... Scientists! Stemming from a collaboration between the teams at Musée des Ursulines in Trois-Rivières and the Institution Muséale de Montréal, the installation highlights how the Ursuline sisters and the sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame taught science to girls starting in the 19th century.

Happy 40th Anniversary of Associate Relationship!
A couple of years ago, a friend of mine used the phrase, Carriers of the Charism. I find that it expresses deeply just who is an Associate of the CND.
There is surely a great diversity that exists among Sisters and Associates through- out the Congregation. However, a gift that dwells within each of us and binds us together is the charism of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys.
Feast of the Visitation of Blessed Virgin Mary Tuesday May 31, 2022
On April 24th at Theresa’s home, Holy Angels and St. Theresa’s group held their monthly meeting. The meeting commenced by reading the Elements of Deepening 2021-2025. The highlight of this day was the Ritual of Welcome for our newest journeying candidate Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a parishioner of St. Theresa’s parish. She is a Eucharist Minister, altar server and she brings many gifts to the Associate Relationship.
Dianne presented Elizabeth with a journal and the Marguerite Bourgeoys’ book: “Brave Beginnings”. Reflection was shared on the book “The Seed that Became a Garden”. Our group joined together wishing Dianne a Happy Birthday.
