The year 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the beatification of Marie-Rose Durocher, founder of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM).
On this occasion, the Marie-Rose Chapel, located in the right transept of the co-cathedral of Longueuil, was renovated. Artifact display counters were installed and the signage was revised to present six specific sections related to the founder, her values, the congregation she founded and her legacy.
By using the QR codes on the posters, visitors to the Marie-Rose Chapel can dive into the world of Marie-Rose and the actions of the Congregation in mission since 1843. Below, you will find the themes of these posters which provide access to rich content in the form of texts, videos, podcasts and photo albums.This content will be progressively increased over time. Already under the title of the first poster (Tribute – Do you know Marie-Rose Durocher?) on this page, you have an overview of this varied content.
It is an invitation to discover a rich past and a present that is still active and brings great hopes for the future!
