Edouard Crevier, parish priest at Sainte-Hyacinthe, built a hospice, “a modest two-storey wooden structure” in 1840, and asked the Sisters of Charity of Montreal to administer it. The Sisters sent four volunteers to the new mission. Sister Marie-Michelle-Archange Thuot, a nurse, pharmacist, and later Novice Mistress, and Sisters Marie-Émilie Jauron, Honorine Pinsonneault, and Marie-Tharsile Guyon volunteered for this new foundation which was independent from, but adhered to the Rule of The Grey Nuns of Montreal. The Sisters arrived in May 1840 and took possession of the small Hôtel Dieu, also called the “Yellow House”.
