Bromont

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
The city of Bromont is bordered by Waterloo on the east, Cowansville on the south, Farnham and Saint-Césaire on the west.

FOUNDING
In 1906, Father Théodore Barré, the parish priest, wished to have Sisters for his vast apostolic field. The General Council, directed by Mère du Saint-C?ur-de-Marie, (Marie-Louise Bouchard), general superior, granted his request and sent three Sisters to this township.

FOUNDERS
Sister Marie-Joseph (Adèle Dancause)
Sister Sainte-Victoire (Marie-Rose Girouard)
Sister Saint-Boniface (Élisa Dufault)

IMPORTANT EVENTS
In 1991, a new school, situated on Gaspé Street is completed. On June 27, all the school materials are moved. The Sisters continue to reside in the same rooms while the class-rooms will be used for the various needs of the city and organizations.
