A festive Air at Maison Jésus-Marie

Return to news

Music continues to play an important role in the lives of the SNJM Sisters. Last December, it once again played its part in creating a festive atmosphere at Maison Jésus-Marie (MJM).

In addition to the decorations for the occasion, the presentation of a convivial Christmas Carolling sing-a-long with the SNJM Associates on December 14, brought joy to the hearts of all who attended.

This long-awaited get-together provoked much laughter, and led to some confident dance steps on the part of several Sisters. Holding a beautiful bilingual songbook, the Sisters present sang along with the choir. This was the first time the event had been held since the pandemic of 2020 and subsequent outbreaks.

The pleasure of this gathering was obvious from the looks on the faces of the participants.

Ending the year in style

Then, on December 27, the Les joyeux retraités (The Joyful Retirees) choir from Longueuil performed to a packed house. Friends, associates and Sisters were on hand to enjoy the performance by the members of this choir, founded in 1990.

Renowned for its light-hearted interpretation of a wide variety of well-known tunes, the choir directed by Ms. Lise Pelletier confirmed its reputation. They gave a magnificent concert, much to the delight of the audience.
