SPIRITUALITY

A residence steeped in spirituality

The Redemptorist Fathers and the Grey Nuns have played a crucial role in the founding of the Villa Youville. We have had several nuns who have lived here and have offered an exceptional quality of pastoral care to our residents and families. Their dedication was inspired by the foundress of their congregation, Saint Marguerite d’Youville, and their presence with the most fragile members of our community has been invaluable, especially in the last moments of their lives. Communion continues to be given to our residents by our devoted volunteers every Wednesday.

See Visit Us for religious services times.

A Francophone and Catholic environment

Villa Youville is a Francophone and Catholic institution true to its founders, but also to our parents, grandparents and ancestors who settled the region and who still make it vibrant today with their joie de vivre, their faith, culture, language, traditions and legendary family spirit.

Non-Catholic people are welcomed at the Villa. We believe that the message of love, respect and generosity conveyed by our faith reaches all human beings.

Non-Francophone spouses and friends are also welcomed, provided of course, that they’ll be happy when immersed in this Francophone linguistic and cultural milieu.
