Today is International Literacy Day. Education is an important apostolate for the Grey Nuns, who founded several schools in Montreal, Quebec, and Canada. École Marguerite-de-la-Jemmerais, a secondary school, is named in honor of the congregation’s founder Marguerite Dufrost de la Jemmerais, widow of d’Youville.
