Timeline
The timeline is a series of chronological references relative to the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, from the birth of Marguerite Bourgeoys to the present day. It puts in perspective the events which have marked the history of the community in relation to the geo-political, social and religious events which took place in Montreal, Canada and elsewhere, particularly with regard to education and women’s rights. Thanks to this overall presentation, we are better able to observe the role of the Congregation in society as well as its ability to adapt to change.
