This paper presents a brief history of the foundation and of the development
over the years of two hospitals dedicated to the care of Chinese
immigrants in Canada, one in Montreal (founded in 1918) and the other in
Vancouver (founded in 1921). Both establishments were established and
operated by the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception (M.I.C.).
This religious congregation of women missionaries ? the first in North
America ? was founded in Montreal in 1902 by the Venerable Délia
Tétreault (Mother Mary of the Holy Spirit), a native of Marieville, in the
province of Quebec. It counted only fifteen members when the bishop of
Canton, China, Most Rev. Jean-Marie Mérel, of the Société des Missions
Etrangères de Paris, came to the Mother House in Montreal and asked for
Sisters for his Apostolic Vicariate. Six young Sisters arrived at Canton in
October 1909. From that time, the Foundress focused her attention, not
only on the China missions, but also on Chinese immigrants in Canada, by
providing services for them in Montreal, first in her own convents and in
parishes, and then in Chinatown.
The Montreal Chinese Hospital traces its beginnings to 1918 when the
influenza epidemic appeared in Montreal, and Delia Tetreault obtained
permission from the civil and religious authorities to organize a small
emergency shelter for the Chinese. A hospital for Chinese in Vancouver
dates from 1921, when Mother Tetreault responded to a request for the
bishop of Vancouver by sending four of her sisters to care for immigrant
Chinese in that city. This article will trace the stories of these two
institutions in the order of their founding
