They Left Us in 2024

Return to news

Following in the footsteps of their foundress, Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher, the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM) have displayed and continue today to demonstrate their determination to contribute to making our world more just and more united.

Whether throughout their mission of teaching, social action or through numerous tasks related to community life, these Sisters were committed until their final breath.

In reference to the quote from Jean D’Ormesson, we pay tribute today to the dozen Sisters who left us in 2024.

“There is something stronger than death,

it is the presence of the absent in the memory of the living.”

To prevent time from erasing the memory of these women’s committed journeys, we invite you to consult the “In Memory” section which briefly presents a few key elements of their lives.
