Période

circa 1921

Canada

A printing plate from a collection used by the les Soeurs de la Charité de Montreal, the Sisters of Charity of Montreal (Soeurs Grises/Grey Nuns). The order was established by Mme Marguerite d'Youville in Montreal in 1737 to serve to poor and sick. The Grey Nuns run hospitals, orphanages, schools, homes for the aged, institutions for the blind, and other social services and works of charity in various parts of Canada and the United States. D'Youville was officially recognized as a Saint of the Roman Catholic Church in 1990. These plates were acquired by les Souers Grises from l'Institut Nazareth, which utilized them for printing the Institut's publications. L'Institut Nazareth is a co-educational school for blind children, founded in 1862 in Montreal by Benjamin-Victor Rousselot and the Grey Nuns. Music was a part of the general curriculum from the outset. The newspapers of the time describe annual concerts which introduced both first-rate performing talents and important new works to the Montreal public and a choir whose reputation led to tours of the province. Many considered the school the earliest conservatory in Montreal. The Institut Nazareth merged with the Institut Louis-Braille in June 1975, continuing thereafter as the Institut Nazareth et Louis-Braille, located in Longueuil, Quebec [Refs. 1-4].
