Saint-Jules' Convent

A convent was built in the village in 1954, which marked the end of schoolhouses. The convent had 4 classes, accommodation for the nuns, a chapel and a room. In 1956, three nuns from the Congregation of the Servant Sisters of the Sacred heart of Mary arrived in Saint-Jules' Convent. In 1960, an extension was built that was home to 7 additional classrooms.

After the building expansion, according to custom, the convent was blessed on October 30, 1960, in the presence of dignitaries, the parish priest and parishioners of Saint-Jules. The nuns left the convent in 1975, and in 1999, elementary teaching came to an end in our municipality.

The Club Parentaide/ Camp les Étincelles occupies over half of the former convent and most of the land that used to be the school playground, and a wood-lot behind the convent became an aerial park (Vaho Aventure).
