Chronology: 1905-1909

A project undertaken by Brother Joseph J. R. Belanger based on previous work by Brother Leonard Voegtle and Adrian Perreault 

On 28 February 1905 the deed for the MacPherson estate was signed.  The Juniorate will be located there.

On 21 February 1906 12 Juniors arrived from St-Hyacinthe, Canada, to pursue their grade school studies.  They were the first [grade school and high school] students on campus.

On 26 January 1908 14 students officially began their Postulancy on campus.  Nine of these took the Habit on 26 January 1908.  The Postulancy followed the Juniorate and represented a higher level of study.  It is the first year of the Novitiate; secular studies are permitted by Canon Law. 

On 23 July 1908 the deed for the Bech estate is signed.

On 25 September 1908 the Novices move into the Bech homestead.  The Novices are in the second year of their Novitiate; Canon Law permits only one hour a day for secular subjects.
