A group of poets came to present their poetic creations to the Sisters at Maison Jésus-Marie on February 13th. To the delight of the Sisters living there, the poetic gathering took place in the various community rooms.
This original activity has always been very appealing to the Sisters. This type of presentation puts them in touch with the concerns of today’s world. Through their poems, members of the group share their thoughts about their families, their loves, nature, and many other topics that inspire them to want to learn more.
As was pointed out by the new literary association, poets play an important role in society. "They sing of life, they sing of love and sparks of light spring forth from their pens." It was in this spirit that the group participated in this activity.
The poets included Johanne Bissonnette, Michel Lebreton, Philippe Robitaille, Jean-Guy Giguère, Hélène Viens and Rose Lévesque, the foundress of this new association.
