The sisters worked as volunteers, playing a role in the management\nof the organization, and caring for patients. Part of the monastery was also\nrented out, and the community absorbed the operational costs of the project\nuntil 1995, when the Fondation Catherine de Longpr\u00e9 bought the buildings and\nland. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Considering the community was made up of only\neight nuns during the 1980s, the monastery was way too big for its actual\nneeds. A full floor was rented out to the Fondation for the symbolic price of\n$1. In a project document dated June 1986, the reorganization work was\nestimated at $250,000<a href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>,\nwhich explains a huge need for funds. In fact, as a private organization, Maison\nCatherine de Longpr\u00e9 was likely unable to benefit from public financing,\npossibly excluding a seed grant. It was therefore necessary to find viable\nsources of revenue to support the Augustinian Sisters and Foundation. The\nfledgling organization turned to the generosity of the local population. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-image\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/monastere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/old\/2019\/10\/Lettre-demande-de-financement-1987-789x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lettre demandant du financement\" class=\"wp-image-5088\"\/><figcaption>Letter requesting funding for the founding of the Maison Catherine de Longpr\u00e9, as well as the transformation of a complete floor of the Augustinian monastery of Saint-Georges, in Beauce.

A radiothon was one example of the\nfinancing activities that were suggested. In 1988, a fundraising campaign\ncalled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maisoncatherinedelongpre.qc.ca\/la-maison\/historique\/\">La\nGrande corv\u00e9e<\/a>\u201d (\u201cthe great chore\u201d) was organized, with the goal of\nraising two million dollars<a href=\"#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a>.\nThanks to 1000 volunteer solicitors, a total of $2,108,044 were raised in six months\u2019\ntime. This amount was enough to open Maison Catherine de Longpr\u00e9 in November\n1989. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Despite the success of \u201cLa Grande corv\u00e9e\u201d, it\nbecame necessary to find recurring sources of funds. This is where the idea of\nan annual lottery came about. The first edition took place in 1991 and since,\nit has been the Maison\u2019s main financing activity. In a budget estimate document\ndated 1992 to 1995, we learn that the goal of the lottery was to raise $25,000\nper year. In comparison, the Augustinian Sisters planned to give $40,000\nyearly. This revenue was necessary; the healthcare-, medicine-, and\nadministration-related expenses were estimated at around $325,600 per year on average.\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>In the end, the financial goals had to be\nrevised and increased. In 1993, the lottery goal had almost doubled. Sister\nGertrude Lortie, president of the Maison, wrote in a bulletin that the goal was\n$55,000, indicating that \u201cThe aim of this lottery is to fill the lack in funds\ncaused by the current [economic] recession. In the long run, it will ensure\nnecessary funds for the administration of the Maison.\u201d Around 11,000 flyers\nwere distributed in the 50 parishes that were then part of the\nBeauce-Appalaches territory. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>It seems the local population never ceased\nresponding positively to the call for donations. For example, in 1995, the\nlottery raised $73,000. Twenty-three years later, in 2018, the lottery raised\n$389,036. The goal for 2019 is to raise $385,000, which represents 27% of the\norganization\u2019s operational budget. This demonstrates that lotteries are in fact\nan excellent way of financing community service projects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-image\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/monastere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/old\/2019\/10\/Billet-de-loterie-1993-Maison-Catherine-de-Longpr\u00e9-HDB-B1-F54_4-1024x444.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5090\"\/><figcaption>Drawing ticket for the 1993 edition of the Maison Catherine de Longpr\u00e9 lottery.<br> Fonds Maison Catherine de Longpr\u00e9 (HDB-B1-F5,4:4)<br>\u00a9 Archives du Monast\u00e8re des Augustines <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p><em>The author thanks the team of Le Monast\u00e8re Archives Center for their support in carrying out this research: Sara B\u00e9langer, Annie Labrecque, Chantal Lacombe and Audrey Julien.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Hugues St-Pierre<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>What distinguishes palliative care\nis its focus on \u201ccare\u201d.
