The green garden of the Grey Nuns Motherhouse, Montreal - Duration: 5:01.
In the fall, when I entered the community, I passed by the garden and there were rows of carrots, cabbages and turnips.
And, like I used to do at home, I pulled up some carrots, brushed them off on my apron and ate them.
All of a sudden I thought, what will they say if they see me eating the carrots?!
And the nun in charge of food was very strict, so I hoped I didn't run into her.
And the aunt of the nun who was in charge of the young sisters (the postulants), she won't be happy that I was pulling vegetables out of her garden.
Then one day, at noon, there was a box in the cafeteria, marked: To my little rabbit postulants.
And she had put in little chocolate rabbits for us.
Later, when I was a nun, even as a novice, we spent days canning in the little grey building in the yard, beside the garden.
Where the parking area is now, there was a very big kiosk.
When it was the bean harvest, or the raspberries, we'd all go there and help out.
We'd have what we called "bees"; instead of saying "corvée" we'd say "bee," an English word.
So we'd have tomato bees, I remember that one mainly because it was messy, juice everywhere.
It was during mosquito season, yes. And we had to work in the strawberries and we'd slap the mosquitoes. We'd get all dirty.
So they'd store the preserves for winter.
The tomatoes came in in big boxes and we had to clean them and arrange them to put them in the freezers.
So we'd all be chatting, we were allowed to, and we'd talk away…
So we did that in our free period, but when 1 o'clock came around, it was silence.
Then there was a nun who read to us.
Her name was Sister Légaré and she had a very loud voice. A strong voice.
Once we were all set up to do the tomatoes, or strawberries, she'd have a book, and she'd read to us.
And then, around 1960, they removed the canning kiosk.
A little later, they put in a skating rink, and we had a skating rink instead of a garden.
That didn't last long. I don't know what happened, but… it wasn't there long.
But after, they put in grass where the garden used to be and they built a grotto in the back,
close to the stores, with a Virgin Mary, and the nuns would go there to pray.
And they planted a row of trees all the way along and they made a little gravel path and the nuns could walk there in the garden.
As I said before, much of the day was spent in silence.
But we had one free period after lunch, and one in the evening after supper.
I remember, after lunch, we'd walk. We'd walk in the courtyard and we'd chat.
We got to know each other better and we were good companions, if there was one who left,
who had decided to do something else, they never told us ahead of time.
We knew, but once she was gone, we were sad. But it was her decision.
It was hard to see our companions leave like that.
It was a change that happened after the Vatican Second Council. Part of a whole series of events.
But for us it was hard to say, well I'm doing what I'm doing and I want to do it.
But to see that others were leaving, well, for me it was…
Because the other changes we went through, the change in habit, even the change in structure, since many sections of our constitution were altered.
There were a lot of changes, many different kinds of changes.
And, figuring out how to accept that, to keep growing and not stay in the same place.
Each woman had to answer that for herself. It's not always easy to go through, but you can get through it.
But in the community of nuns, because we support each other,
we're together, there's a communion among us, so it's easier.

Charities at the Grey Nuns Motherhouse - Duration: 2:22.
When we were at the Motherhouse, many rooms weren't being used.
The Institut familale didn't exist any more, nor did the teacher training school.
So we provided space to some very interesting charitable projects.
The entire basement was occupied by Bon Jour Toi, Maison Marguerite and Interval.
That was the whole wing under the auditorium.
We had Interval (now that's a name for you) which was a group of religious communities who had offices in the Motherhouse,
in the St. Mathieu part, and so we welcomed women who were victims of domestic violence, with their children.
That was a fine project. Seven or eight religious communities came together,
looking for a space, and we welcomed them to the Motherhouse. It lasted quite a while.
The Maison Marguerite was a house where we took in women who suddenly found themselves homeless,
perhaps thrown out by their husbands, or who were on the street,
so we took them in and they could stay with us for at least a couple of nights in the house, which was on St. Mathieu Street.
There was a fair amount of space, they could shelter about 12 women I believe.
And close by Maison Marguerite, there was a space that had been used in the past for something else,
but they offered us this fairly large space to use as a room for meetings.
It was called Bon Jour Toi. The women who worked there were all volunteers.
So we had those three groups, Interval, for women who were victims of domestic violence,
and the Bon Jour Toi centre, which was a day centre.
The Maison Marguerite, that was started by Georgette Leduc.
Now they're independent, they've bought a house, and it's going well. The work is continuing, but outside the Motherhouse.

The Grey Nuns Motherhouse kitchen, Montreal - Duration: 1:29.
One of the days that was very important every year
was the day they celebrated the Jubilee, a nun's 50th anniversary, with guests.
In fact, the biggest year was the first year I was here, it was the first time I did that.
We'd serve cold dishes, but for the nuns, there was a special dish.
There were one or two favourites, like filet mignon with a special soup.
I made that often and it was always well received.
For the regular menu in those days, they always enjoyed chicken.
Fish, less so. They didn't eat a lot of beef because of the expense.
At the age I was then, I was younger than most of the nuns, but we had a similar background in terms of food.
So really filet mignon was one of the favourite dishes and often what they chose for a very special occasion.

Eating in the Grey Nuns Motherhouse refectories, Montreal - Duration: 2:01.
In the Motherhouse, we had a large room called the refectory.
When I entered in 1949, there were about 300 nuns in the House, and there were the charitable projects as well.
So there were a number of areas to clean.
So the morning there was a lot of housecleaning to do. In the cafeteria, in the refectory, then we had to clean the stairways.
The refectory too, was quite something. Because we novices, and the postulants, we sat on benches.
So if you wanted to get out, the whole row had to get up to let you out.
Because you couldn't just step over the bench of course.
So the nuns, we served, and we were warmly dressed, which means that it was always very hot.
And the food was on carts. Back in those days in the Motherhouse there were about 300 of us, maybe more.
We ate in silence, except when there was a holiday.
We had a free period at noon, and in the evening. But in between, we didn't talk.
Beside it there was another room that was used as a refectory, on the St-Mathieu side; I think it was for the elderly.
It had a terrazzo floor, we had several large tables. We'd get up to serve ourselves, each one in turn.
It was like cafeteria service, but all the food came from the big kitchen, on carts.
They'd put the food on the tables and we'd serve ourselves, and the dessert too.

Les écoles pour religieuses de la maison mère des Sœurs Grises, à Montréal - Duration: 4:57.
I studied at the Institut Marguerite d'Youville for two years.
It was the last year the Institute was in the Mother House. 1961 to 1963.
After that, I even helped move the library to the new building on St. Catherine Street.
Now it's the Faculty of Nursing, but at that time it was the Institut Marguerite d'Youville.
It took a couple of years before it was passed over to the University.
So it was the last year, it was a special class because the classrooms weren't very big, we were all crowded in together.
There was a classroom here and one right next to it, the offices were in between the classrooms, there was a little room where we could get a cup of coffee.
The class had students who were doing a Bachelor's degree (BA) in order to become hospital administrators.
There were others who were taking education courses in order to work in schools.
And there were already people coming from other countries, like Vietnam and France, French-speaking countries, to do their BA.
Plus there were the professors, who were mainly Grey Nuns, with a few priests, a Dominican, a Sulpician,
there was a Father of Foreign Missions; there were several laypeople involved as well.
Because the Institut Marguerite d'Youville was originally started for the Grey Nuns, around 1935 or '37.
Our community was very forward-looking, we sent nuns to the United States to get their master's degrees, their Ph.D's,
and they came back, and it was for the Grey Nuns, for Notre Dame Hospital,
so that we had people who could be administrators for hospitals and teachers for the students.
When I was in teacher training, it was more like a school for nuns, a place where young people could start to prepare to become nuns.
And I can tell you, it was more strict than when I was doing my noviciate.
I entered the community in 1957 and the other in 1950, so there was a difference, it was much stricter before,
the nuns didn't go out, and the periods of silence, you know, we were like apprentice nuns.
So we had prayers, we didn't always understand what they meant, and we were encouraged to reflect on death.
Well when you're 15 or 16, that doesn't really speak to you. No, no.
We had limited opportunities to go out, only on special days, Christmas, Easter Sunday, that was it.
But when I entered the noviciate, it was much freer than that.
My idea was to do my course at the Institut familial, with the Grey Nuns.
So the first time I went there to start my family education course, I had a strong reaction to it.
It was quite dark and plain. I thought to myself that I'd never be able to live here.
But gradually I got used to it.
We had religious education classes, cooking classes; we studied psychology, the care of young children, family education, running a household,
the decorative arts, dressmaking, anatomy and French. What was missing were the sciences and math.
Because basically the course on running a household at the institute was really to prepare women to become good wives and mothers.
We learned a lot of things, but not science or math. I learned to sew, to darn, and then to knit, weave and crochet.

The Grey Nuns Motherhouse's infirmaries, Montreal - Duration: 2:40.
In the house here, we had a few wings where we took care of elderly women, and, on the ground floor, elderly men.
Early in the morning, the novices would start at the ground floor, and we'd make the beds for the old men.
That was the first thing we'd do before Mass.
We'd get up, pray, and then right away we'd go and do all the beds for the old men along that whole hallway.
There were a lot of them at the Mother House.
The people we looked after then, it's not like it is now.
There weren't just a dozen, there were 30 or 40.
At a certain point you have nuns who are getting old, who are all about the same age … There were a lot of people in the infirmaries.
They put me in the Mother House, in the infirmaries, I took care of the elderly nuns and I really loved that.
Because we'd get them talking and they'd tell us their stories, about how they'd been in the far north, and here, and there…
And they had a need to talk too, so … I really enjoyed it.
It was not intense care. It was looking after sisters who were in decline.
So, in 1949 to '51, we already had many older nuns, who had worked as missionaries.
People worked hard back in those days; they might have been in the far north, in Western Canada, at the d'Youville nursery…
So there were two or three special departments to take care of our older nuns.
We called one the infirmary, and there was even a part we called the seigniory.
The nuns were starting to get older and there were more of them, more space was required, so they moved them to the street side.
I really had a lot of pleasure taking care of our elderly nuns in the infirmary, at the very end of their lives.
I did it for 30 years, and I helped 487 sisters. I saw them all leave this world.
First of all, the way they accepted death.
Some of them had prognoses that were hard, like you have two months to live, or one month to live …
But I was always surprised to see how quickly they accepted it.
