Welcome to Normandy
Montmagny, Quebec

Do you know Normandy? Of course, it’s the name of a well-known region in France, but we also have one in Montmagny. Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame have been working here among the poor for a long time.

I am Gemma Perreault, CND. In my own way, I am continuing the CND tradition, trying to help the children and adults of this area find a better quality of life:

with another woman of the area I help little children from 2 to 5 learn how to work and play in groups, discovering the joy of learning, risking and succeeding.

I teach older girls how to cook and how to balance their diet. You should see how proud they are to prepare economic and tasty meals they can share with their families!

I do sewing and crafts with women, who learn patience as they sew and express their creativity with handicrafts.

If Marguerite Bourgeoys were to come at Montmagny, I would be happy to bring her to Normandy, where she would meet wonderful people willing to learn and develop their full potential.
