A Year-End Filled with Music and Good Cheer at Maison Jésus-Marie

2025 came to a joyful and upbeat end, thanks to the ever-energetic performance of the choir Les Joyeux Retraités, presented on December 28 in the chapel of Maison Jésus-Marie (MJM).

🎶 This Christmas concert, rich in emotion and surprises, delighted the audience with the diversity of its repertoire. Lively rhythms, well-loved traditional carols, and delightful touches of humor filled the room, sparking laughter and creating a festive atmosphere. It was hard to resist tapping along or enthusiastically humming a few familiar tunes!

Founded in 1990, this mixed vocal ensemble of Les Joyeux Retraités de Longueuil regularly performs at MJM and shares its joy of life and offers precious moments of happiness to the Sisters and invited guests.

The holiday performance—always greatly appreciated—was expertly conducted by Ms. Lise Pelletier. The choir was accompanied on the piano by Ms. Hélène Carrière, whose beautiful playing supported the voices of the singers.

At the end of the concert, the beaming faces of the audience spoke volumes. Many with smiles on their faces and still humming the melodies they had just heard, returned to their activities. It was a moment of pure pleasure, filled with warmth and sharing, that carried the spirit of the holidays through the final days of the year. ✨
