Convent Of The Redemptoristines
The Convent of the Redemptoristines (French: ''Couvent des Rédemptoristines'') is a convent in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Québec, Canada that once was home to nuns of the Redemptoristines order. Owing to its Gothic Revival architecture and importance in the region's religious history, it was added to the Cultural heritage register of Quebec in 2001. A decline in religious vocations resulted in a loss of numbers, and remaining elderly nuns moved to another site in the 1990s. The property was essentially abandoned after being used temporarily for other operations. In 2015, the building was purchased by a real-estate developer and in 2018, converted into apartment type housing. History The first Redemptoristine nuns arrived in the city in 1905. Some months later, the foundation for the convent was started. Completed in 1907, the large, three-story convent was home to Redemptoristine nuns into the 1990s. With changes in vocations, the number of nuns declined in the order. The needs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
