A young Haitian woman, Armande August, arrived in Quebec in 1952 to take a nursing course at the Enfant-Jésus Hospital. It was there that she met Oblates who were also studying and later became a member of the Institute. At the end of her studies in 1955, she returned to her country, but before leaving, she asked Fr. Louis-Marie Parent if he would like to found the Institute in Haiti. Fr. Parent agreed, but on one condition, that of recruiting other young women, interested in our form of life. In February 1956, Fr. Parent was invited to Haiti to speak about the Institute. Armande and some twenty young women were waiting for him. Among them were Venite Point-du-Jour and Lumène Chérestal. |
