In 1895, the Chanoinesses des Cinq Plaies (called the Sisters of the Saviour), under Mother Honorine Chanut, came from Lyon (France) to Notre Dame de Lourdes in response to a call from Francophone settlers in the area. Over the next century, this eminent religious order contributed to local education, hospital care, religious instruction, and development of culture and arts.
