HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello to you all,

is ultimately a message of the holiday season waiting History and Society before a break for the holidays. An update repeatedly postponed since it is more demanding than expected to maintain a blog with a full-time work and part-time university studies. On yes, and friends and family that one tries not to be overlooked too.

The year 2010 is the first year "complete "The blog and updates, to my delight, were relatively large with 44 capsules on the original story of Quebec City (mostly). 2010 will also make an appointment weekly radio very short (on the airwaves SortirFM in Quebec) and a few interviews and conference about blogging (the project's historic cafes Quebec continues from late January 2011, we hear about it!).

So, 2011 looks promising. The challenge? Do not do less and above all do more! Projects abound. Remains to be seen how they will be realized.

Thus, the blog will return all Saturdays from January 15, 2011 !

A very Merry Christmas to all, surrounded by friends and family!

A very good year 2011 to you. I wish you health before everything else.

Short History of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Quebec

The holiday season is upon us. And this week, the Quebec media were slightly put aside time one day, their interests to participate in the Great Food Drive Media . This particular tradition has been established by the Society of St. Vincent da Paul in the second half of the nineteenth century. We have therefore thought fit to make a brief profile of this company in Quebec.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVDP) is set up in Paris, France in 1833, driven by the patron Emmanuel Bailly, Sister Rosalie Rendu advice of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity and the energy of a group of university students in medicine and law Lyon, including a 20-year-old Frederic Ozanam. United by their desire to help the poor and a fervent Catholic faith, the organization is rapidly growing. It is eleven years after the founding the organization across the Atlantic with a first conference (the name of sections in the SSVDP) in Mexico in 1844. In Quebec, Dr. Joseph Painchaud (above) who is organizing a new conference Society of St. Vincent de Paul in 1846.

Note: This church built at the end of the nineteenth century, houses the "Patro" especially in the first half of the twentieth century. The facade was still standing (the part with the arrow in the photo) was destroyed in the months of February and March 2010.

The organization moved to Quebec, while it is mostly priests and parishes involved are still poor, because the state can not yet meet the demand. Dealing mainly clothing and food to the poor and needy children, the SSVDP also offers a placement service for workers without jobs. English speakers also have their companies (the Holy One. George, the Welsh and the St. Patrick). These are companies that focus of social support in Quebec. The SSVDP be as close to different Catholic congregations and recent works: creation of the Mercy Hospital (1874) and Asylum of the Good Shepherd for repentant prostitutes and pregnant out of wedlock, Patronage St Vincent de Paul (1861 until 'arrival of the Brothers of St. Vincent de Paul in 1884 who took over) for teaching poor children. The SSVDP also host sporting events throughout the second half of the nineteenth century (as well as other Canadian French) helping the establishment of the first leisure as friendly competition in athletics, for French-speaking inhabitants of Quebec.

In addition to helping the poor, the hosts quickly SSVDP Quebec Savings Banks. These funds, managed by those responsible for conferences of SSVDP are based in Spring 1848 in the parishes of Saint-Roch, Notre Dame de Quebec (above the building in the 1930 Montcalm). Although they are not recognized in the same way that banks (Savings Bank Act of 1841) and that depositors' money is rightly placed in different banks of Quebec at rates negotiated between unions and banks, these funds become major financial institutions for small savers francophones. Although the fund based in the parish of Saint-Roch was disbanded at the turn of the 1860s, Notre Dame (Upper Town) is continuing its activities and adapts gradually becoming a bank in good and due form. In 1871, a law of force to hold the capital stock and in 1944 the union becomes the Bank of economy of Quebec and the Bank of economy is absorbed by the Desjardins movement in the late 1960s.

is the Great Depression of the 1930s which gives more space to the state in support of the needy and thus somewhat reducing the workload and effort of benevolent societies. Indeed, so far, the SSVDP has expanded with the first Food Drive for the holiday season (since 1870), the distribution of wood, family mediation and even care "fix" to improve the last days of sick dying. The SSVDP is so well recognized that the city is spending all its relief program in the early years of the Depression until the SSVDP decided in 1933 to allow this power to the city.

And finally, a small note about the Food Drive. Coming from a tradition of the nineteenth century (including the Society of St. Vincent de Paul), it was to move from house to house singing songs to collect some food for the poor. This year, an initiative of few individuals and companies web decided to make a small food drive social media. You can click on the banner to learn more! Happy Holidays!
