| Located in the historic district of
Longueuil (a southern suburb of Montreal) the "Maison
de prière Notre-Dame" was opened to the public in
1996 as the House of the People of God. We call it
affectionately the House of Mary because we wish to greet
each person who comes, as Mary would, so that everyone
feels like part of our family. |

Our team
|
Working as a team, we are 8 sisters who chose to live the
mystery of the Visitation
specific to the Congregation of Notre Dame. We want our house to
be an oasis of silence and peace, a place for spiritual renewal,
growth in faith, to celebrate God in prayer and adoration.
