Pious recluse to have new resting place: Jeanne Le Ber. Spurned wealth, spent life in prayer
2005
Overview
[Jeanne Le Ber] was born in Montreal in 1662 when it was still Ville Marie. Her father was the richest merchant in the fledgling colony. She had as her godparents the colony's founders, Paul de Chomedey Sieur de Maisonneuve and Jeanne Mance. Le Ber was almost certainly taught by the city's first schoolteacher, Marguerite Bourgeoys. \"We won't have 1,500 people at the mass. It's a much more private affair. Le Ber is not a saint. She's not even beatified. So we regard her as a pious, holy woman. We don't want to promote a Le Ber cult.\" Colour Photo: MARIE-FRANCE COALLIER, THE GAZETTE / Sister Stella Fenile of the Congregation of Notre Dame shows embroidery by Jeanne Le Ber from the collection of Maison Saint-Gabriel. ;
