The Abbaye Ste-Marie des Deux-Montagnes was founded in September 1936 by R.M.Gertrude Adam, who came from the Benedictine monastery of Notre-Dame de Wisques (Pas-de-Calais, France) with 3 other sisters in order to form to contemplative benedictine life a small group of Canadians. After 10 years, the monastery was erected Abbey, In 1981, the Abbaye Sainte-Marie swarmed in Vermont (U.S.A.) where was founded the Priory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Westfield. Both of these monasteries belong to the Congregation of Solesmes. The four keynotes of this international Congregation are: - A life entirely devoted of contemplation favoured by the papal enclosure, - The solemn celebration of the Liturgy in accordance with Vatican II Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. Both monasteries have retained Latin and Gregorian chant for Mass and Divine Office. - Living tradition, - Devotedness to the Holy See. Presently the Abbess is R.M.Isabelle Thouin. The architect of the Abbaye Ste-Marie is Edgar Courchesne, a Canadian disciple of Dom Paul Bellot, "the brick poet". The monastery is located in a very beautiful scenery near lake "des Deux-Montagnes" which owes it's name to the last two mountains of the Laurentides.
