On the 21st of January 07, the Sisters of our Canadian province gathered at Residence N.D. to give thanks to God for Sr. Mary Ellen O’Neill, for her 19 years of service to our Province and to mark the end of a form of government in our Canadian Province.......

 

 

 

 

   This meaningful day began with the Eucharist of Thanksgiving followed by a joyous meal. In the afternoon with the use of modern technology (power point) we shared a special prayer and tribute recalling some aspects of our history and mission. A display of the photos of Perrine our foundress and all of our Provincials since 1909 depicted the solidarity and unity of our charism and spirituality as passed down through the centuries.

   Having expressed our gratitude and appreciation to Mary Ellen we then made mention of all of our former Provincials since 1909. After each name was recalled and their photo projected on to the screen, mention was made of their accomplishments and events that occurred during their administration.

Following is a list of our former Provincials and their years of service.

Sr. Marie Louise Recton - 1909 - 1930
Sr. Marie Joseph Rondo - 1930 – 1954 

Sr. Eugenie Aucherie 1954 - 1966
Sr. Marie-Cecile Clermont - 1966 - 1975
Sr. Mary Ellen O'Neill - 1975 - 1983
Sr. Cecile Goyer - 1983 - 1990
Sr. Marie-Therese Laberge - 1990 - 1996
Sr. Mary Ellen O'Neill - 1996 - 2006

   As we recalled the leadership and achievements of each provincial Superior the sisters present were invited to reflect, express and verbalize their own experiences and recollections that affected their lives. The prayer of gratitude that followed invited each one to bring their stories, and emotions, their joys, hopes, gratitude etc.. and present them to our heavenly Father so that they be transformed into life for today.......
