Bravo, Sister Violaine!
Our sister, Violaine Paradis, received a vibrant tribute at the Quebec National Assembly for her tremendous work as a pastoral social worker in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough.
Here is an extract from the Journal des Débats de l’Assemblée nationale:
“For the past 12 years, Sister Violaine has worked with unwavering commitment. She demonstrated these essential values: dignity, respect for all, the common good and solidarity. (…) Her presence and help with the most vulnerable (the elderly and the forgotten) made a big difference. (…) Everyone agrees that there is a tenderness in the way she listens, that she works collaboratively in a humanistic way, and has a heart-warming sense of humor. (…) Many thanks to you, Sister Violaine, for what you have given to the people of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. “
