    This May 8, 2024, from 10:00 a.m., on the occasion of the ceremony commemorating the victory of 1945, the doors of the chapel were open.

    Everyone’s satisfaction encourages us to renew this initiative.

  • Big Spring Cleaning

    Saturday March 23, 2024

    For the occasion, some members of the association’s office met at the chapel. From 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., they worked to clean the sacristy, choir and nave from top to bottom. 
    Not a corner escaped the duster, the broom or the vacuum cleaner, after having been polished, the woodwork smelled of wax.
    It was also an opportunity to make some usual repairs, to fill in the holes through which some visitors come in during our absence.
    Satisfied with the work accomplished, once finished, we rang the bell before leaving the premises.
    We arranged to meet again in October for a fall cleaning.

    Thanks to Annie, Chantal, Christopher, Henri-Jean, Hervé,
    Jean-Paul, Téhanie for their efficiency and good humor.

    products from Ferme du Bout du Chemin

    This Easter Monday, April 1, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., young and old responded to our invitation. After a guided tour of the premises, the chapel no longer held any secrets for anyone. The chocolate Easter eggs were a great success, as well as the tasting of cider and apple juice from Ferme du Bout du Chemin.
    The atmosphere was as we like it: good-natured and warm.
    Thank you to everyone who came and for those who could not come, next year, they will be able to make up for it since we will schedule this event again.

    Thank you also to Annie, Téhanie and Christopher for having, on behalf of our association, welcomed our visitors.
