Nota general
In 1951, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke, Ontario was requested by members of the Quyon School Board in Quebec to teach Grades 1 to 9 in both the French and English languages and to serve as religious teachers for the local families. The Quyon School Board purchased a large house, situated across the street from St. Mary’s Church in the Village of Quyon, the Municipality of Pontiac, in the Outaouais Region of Western Quebec to become St. Mary’s Convent. Quyon is part of Treaty 27 on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe and Algonquins Peoples. The house was near the Quyon River, a tributary on the north shore of the Ottawa River. It was a 3-storey brick building in the Queen Anne style, originally built by E.R. McColgan circa 1927 as a home for his wife and eleven children. It was converted into apartments with a spacious room as a chapel.
The Sisters taught and worked in the schools and sacristies on both sides of the Ottawa River. Many Sisters taught music and singing in the schools and in the community. In 1967, a 3-part choir of Grade 7 and 8 girls and boys to Southern Ontario to a meeting of music teachers. Kiwanis girls’ choir of 40 high school students went to EXPO 1967 for a 1-week show. The Sisters were involved in the Kiwanis Music Festival competition in Pembroke.
After 29-years of education and ministry services, the Sisters withdrew from St. Mary’s School and Parish in Quyon on June 30, 1980.
