Death of Mother de la Nativité at approximately 2 a.m.  Sister Marie-des-Saints-Anges says that "I witnessed her holy death  Our good Sister Sainte-Béatrix and I were at her bedside when she made the sign of the cross at approximately 2 a.m. asking us to recite the litanies of the Blessed Virgin.  She then made as if she were going to sleep.   We heard her say "Oh, my dear Jesus!" and it was then that I thought I noticed that she was getting weaker.  Upon moving the light closer, we observed that she had already gone to a bettter world; that was on April 5, 1864."  At the time of her death, the founder of the Misericordia Sisters left behind her 33 sisters, 5 novices and 6 postulants.  From May 1, 1845 to April 5, 1864, the Institute welcomed 2,244 pregnant unwed girls and women, many of whom decided to devote their life to our Lord.  Furthermore, many women living in poverty were provided support in their home.  Rosalie Cadron-Jetté was survived by six of her children all married.  Four of them had given her 41 grandchildren; 3 more were born in the years that followed her death.  Four of her grandchildren having married before she died, she became a great grandmother a little bit more than a year before dying.  Our founder also left behind her sister, Sophie, married to François Laberge, as well as several nephews and nieces.   The anniversary of her death is solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter.
