152 years ago today, the Grey Nuns and their 300 residents left the Montreal General Hospital, considered their first Mother House, for their new Mother House in the countryside (today the quadrilateral bounded by René-Lévesque Blvd., Guy Street, Sainte-Catherine Street and Saint-Mathieu Street). They remained there until 2013.
