“Our heritage is rooted in the creativity and spirituality of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac, ….in the willingness of Emilie Gamelin to risk and trust in Providence, in the responsiveness of the Montreal Sisters of Providence to the call of Bishop E.J. Horan, as well as in the courage and pioneer spirit of Mother Mary Edward McKinley and the original members of the Kingston community. ”
