Cultural mission<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Le Monast\u00e8re des Augustines preserves and enhances the heritage and memory of the Augustinians of Qu\u00e9bec for the benefit of the public and future generations. This community of hospitaller women, who arrived in New France in 1639, has been the guardian of exceptional treasures over the years. The Augustinian Sisters have meticulously preserved numerous artifacts, archives and ancient books for centuries. These objects and documents, from the twelve Augustinian monasteries in Qu\u00e9bec, are now preserved in our museum reserve and archive centre. Their history traces the evolution of healthcare, agriculture, trade and community life in Qu\u00e9bec from the earliest days of the colony. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Today, Le Monast\u00e8re makes this heritage accessible through a museum experience that blends in with the historical site\u2019s decor. People can stay and take part in activities at the site of the first hospital North of Mexico in North America. It’s a unique opportunity to rest and rejuvenate through contact with history and immerse yourself in a legacy that spans nearly 400 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Social mission<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Caring for the sick is the very reason why the first Augustinian Sisters arrived in New France on August 1, 1639. With compassion for human suffering, total respect for individuals as they are, and the ambition to offer care aligned with science, these pioneers courageously spread their values throughout society. In keeping with the work of the Augustinians, Le Monast\u00e8re supports those who care for those around them and the general population<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Our social mission takes the form of solidarity-based services for family caregivers as well as for caregivers from the health and social services network and the community.  These services include: individual or group respite stays, vocation reconnection days, sharing communities, individual support, workshops, support groups and more. We also offer a solidarity rate for those accompanying a sick person who live outside Qu\u00e9bec and requires care in Qu\u00e9bec City. Our approach to respite, which is “taking care of oneself to better take care of others,\u201d enables people to benefit from a restful experience that promotes personal and collective well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
