Due to the overflowing of the Saint-Antoine stream and the damage caused at the foot of Marie-Rose’s tomb, the Mothers of the Congregation decide to proceed with the second exhumation of the remains of their foundress, in order to preserve them.

The precious remains will be reburied in the garden cemetery, at the foot of the great crucifix. They are then wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a box of Colombian red pine placed inside a cement tomb.

The third exhumation takes place in order to transfer Marie-Rose’s remains to the new Motherhouse in Outremont. However, the grave and the tomb having been flooded by heavy rain for years, the bones are sponged off one by one by the sisters. They will then be placed in a small temporary coffin and kept in the convent chapel while awaiting the completion of the preparations in Outremont.

Following a stay to the convent in Hochelaga, the second motherhouse, the remains of Mother Marie-Rose were transported to Outremont and placed in new caskets. First in a pine box from Colombia, made by Mr. Urbain Raiche, an employee of the congregation, and then in a second one made of copper, offered by Mr. Michel Chouinard, the contractor of the roofs of the motherhouse.

It is in the oratory specially built to receive the remains of Marie-Rose that she is buried for a fourth time, on the 81st anniversary of the religious profession of the founding mothers of the congregation.

Mother Marie-Rose is exhumed again, this time with the purpose of recovering a bone to be used as a relic for her beatification in Rome. We take advantage of this opportunity to give the oratory a new look.

After the sale of the Outremont Mother House, the long preparations for the fifth and final exhumation of the remains of Blessed Mother Marie-Rose began for their return to Longueuil, the original parish of the Congregation. The Marie-Rose chapel, where the tomb of the SNJM foundress rests, will be set up in the Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue cocathedral, the church in which the first three nuns took their vows.
