On this day in Our Islands History

In 1919, the old convent, Notre-Dame des Flots was inaugurated by the Sisters of the Notre-Dame Congregation. This convent had been constructed by the perishers of House Harbour under the leadership of Father Samuel Turbide. Today, the convent has been transformed into a hotel called" Chez Gaspard".
