C'est avec regret que j'apprend le décès non-prévu de Soeur Reine Driscoll.
Je l'ai connue dans les années 2013-2018, alors que j'allais servir la communauté chrétienne de Saint-Augustin, pendant la Semaine Sainte, et à Noel.
Elle m'a raconté sa vie de dévouement aux jeunes.
Elle avait vraiment le charisme de votre Fondatrice, la Bienheureuse Élizabeth Turgeon. Si tous ceux et celles qu'elle a aimés, venaient lui rendre un dernier hommage, votre belle et grande chapelle de Rimouski ne pourrait les contenir!
Je suis certain que Soeur Reine a été reçue chaleureusement dans le coeur du Seigneur qu'elle a servi pendant toute sa vie.
Michel Gingras, M.Afr

Sister Reine’s memory will hold dear in my heart forever. The opportunities she gave me as a leader in our church and Diocease gave this small town girl big girl confidence which has taken me into my professional career as an Elementary school teacher and now the Arts Consultant with the Catholic School board in Ottawa. I will never forget her patience and creativity to make the arts come alive in our parish. Rest in peace, God bless!

Sr. Reine was loved the Lord, loved the Church. Loved the Sisters of the Holy Rosary, and loved the Lower North Shore and St. Augustine. She gave her life to show that love. I am grateful to have known her and to have experienced her pastoral energy. Many of us are better ministers because of her vibrant example. Thank you Sr. Reine for a life generously lived! May you receive the reward of a good and faithful servant!
