Description

The Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception were founded in Montreal in 1902 by Delia Tetreault (Mother of the Holy Spirit), and opened their first foreign mission in China in 1909. Shortly after, the foundress started to provide services for Chinese immigrants in Montreal (1918) and Vancouver (1921). Who knows today that the Montreal Chinese Hospital, a modern building with 128 beds, had very humble beginnings when Delia Tetreault opened a small shelter for sick Chinese men during the influenza epidemic? In 1921, she sent four M.I.C. sisters to start education and health services for the Chinese population of Vancouver. Today, Mount Saint Joseph is a modern 275-bed hospital serving the multiethnic population of British Columbia. This note offers a narrative history of these two hospitals, with both their lighter and darker moments. Now under lay administration, they continue their mission of caring in the spirit of their founders, the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. Les Soeurs Missionnaires de l'Immaculee conception ont ete fondees Montreal en 1902 par Delia Tetrault (Mere Marie du saint esprit). La premiere mission etrangere fut ouverte en Chine en 1909, et la fondatrice commenca des lors a etablir des services pour les immigrants chinois de la Province de Quebec (1918) et de la Colombie-Britannique (1921). Qui connait aujourd'hui les humbles origines de l'Hopital chinois de Montreal? L'histoire de cet edifice moderne de 128 lits remonte a 1918, alors que Delia Tetrealt organisa un refuge pour les Chinois durant l'epidemie d'influenza. En 1921, elle a envoye quatre religieuses a Vancouver pour y commencer des oeuvres d'assistance aux Chinois. Aujourd'hui, Mount Saint Joseph est un hopital moderne de 275 lits qui dessert la population multiethnique de la Colombie-Britannique. L'histoire de ces deux hopitaux, avec leurs periodes de difficultes et de prosperite, est presentee dans cette note. Maintenant administres par des laics, ils poursuivent avec succes la mission commencee autrefois par les Soeurs Missionnaires de l'Immaculees conception.
