The Augustines de la Miséricorde de Jésus du Monastère de l'Hôpital Général de Québec is a religious community with a rich history. Founded in 1693, this community of Augustinian Sisters has dedicated itself to hospital work and caring for the sick. Their mission extends to serving the poor, the sick, the infirm, and the aged. They continue the tradition of compassionate care that began when Bishop Jean-Baptiste de La Croix de Chevrières de Saint-Vallier entrusted them with managing the general hospital he founded.
Geographically, this religious community is based in Quebec City, specifically at the Hôpital-Général de Québec monastery. Their main location is at 260 Boulevard Langelier, Quebec City, Quebec. This monastery is located at the intersection of the Saint-Roch and Saint-Sauveur neighbourhoods. Recently designated as a national historic site in 2025, this monastery has been continuously occupied by the Augustinian Sisters since 1693.
Program highlights include their continued commitment to healthcare and social services. The Augustinians were Canada's first nurses and played a vital role in healthcare development. The monastery preserves significant historical archives dating from the 17th century, documenting their hospital work and community life. Their complex of buildings represents an important architectural heritage, showing the evolution of building techniques since the 17th century. Today, they continue their mission of hospitality and compassionate care, inspired by their centuries-old tradition.
