DINA AND MUSIC

The beatification of Dina Bélanger, on the 20th March 1993 was followed by several concerts  - above all on the anniversaries of her birth and of her beatification as well as on the 4^th  September the day of her liturgical feast - in honour of the, now Blessed, musician.

In the period 1994 -1997 groups of artists sought to place themselves under her  protection and named Dina “patron of  artists” . On several occasions they took part in the preparation or animation of a special mass in Quebec, especially in the Church of Notre-Dame de Jacques-Cartier and the “God of the Arts” Centre (Fide-Art), including in their programmes some of Dina's musical compositions. These celebrations were often preceded by a brief concert, on an organ or other instruments.

On October 1^st 1998, the World Day of Music, Mr Roland Martel, leader of an orchestra, placed a poster of Dina at the entrance to his music store. He made Dina a “Director” of his business, so that financial considerations would not restrict his charitable activities.
