I, Augustinian: Woman of Action, Sister of Faith

Until March 20, 2011

The Augustines de la Miséricorde de Jésus religious community played a key role in developing Quebec’s healthcare system. Explore that role through objects from their invaluable collection, a testament to the hospital work and the spiritual and daily lives of these cloistered nuns, who have been contributing to Quebec society since 1639.

Produced in collaboration with Monastère des Augustines de l’Hôtel-Dieu de Québec and Monastère des Augustines de l’Hôpital Général de Québec.
