COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE AT ST –
MICHEL DE BELLECHASSE
In 1988, the Convent of Jesus and Mary, which was founded in 1865 at St
Michel de Bellechasse, Canada, was extended with the addition of a third
secondary level. This projecr coincided with the final preparations for the
beatification of Dina Bélanger, a former teacher of music at this school and it
had been decided to change its name and
would be known in future as "Dina Belanger College".
On the 5th June, 1993, a commemorative plaque on the outside wall
of the school was unveiled, recording that Dina Belanger had lived in this
house. Many of the religious of the two Canadian Provinces were present on this
occasion, as well as a large delegation from the rest of the Congregation:
France, Italy, Mexico, the United States, Pakistan and Gabon. The celebration
was continued at Sillery, where an evening concert was offered by present and
former teachers and pupils of the College, in order to honour, through beauty,
our musician who had been beatified on
the 20th March 1993.
