Hall of Founding Members
In designating an important hall in the Faculty of Education the “Hall of Founding Members”, Dean Louise Poirier wanted to publicly recognize “the important contribution to education by religious communities and more importantly by us, the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, who had lived on these premises.”
Madame Poirier did not miss the opportunity to mention that this recognition was highly relevant in the spirit of the year 2015, dedicated to consecrated life and during which Pope Francis “called upon Catholics and the rest of the world to review the contributions of religious congregations to history.”
This official designation of an important hall in the pavilion, which is used especially for defending theses, was one of the final important events to conclude the festivities for the 50th anniversary of this Faculty of the Université de Montréal.
