Benedictine Convent in Mont-Laurier, QC

Built in 1950,

the Benedictine Monastery 

in Mont-Laurier, QC

will be demolished.

The Benedictine Sisters arrived in Mont-Laurier in 1934. Today they number 15 women, who will be relocated, although their destination has not yet been disclosed. There are few, if any, vocations; therefore, the only solution is the destruction of their present monastery. The sale of the bluiding & its grounds began in November 2010. The sisters must vacate the monastery by April 2011.
