Artwork description
This work of art is dedicated to the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame in commemoration of their significant contributions to our community. Members of a teaching order established by Marguerite Bourgeoys in 1659, the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame taught girls and young women at the Notre-Dame-du-Vieux-Moulin convent in Pointe-Claire from 1784 to 1962. The convent then became their retirement home until December 2014. Educators, neighbours, friends and sisters, the six hundred and five Sisters who served our community over the centuries have left a profound mark.This memorial provides a lasting testimonial to the legacy of their dedication and work in Pointe-Claire.
