The Seigneuress"
The gravestone of Adelaide Gugy represents a much larger story about the wealthy Swiss Protestant Gugy family who settled in Trois-Rivières, QC., in the 18th century. The tale includes upper-class gentility, a scandalous love affair and slavery. Host Julie Miller recounts the stories of Barthélemy and Conrad Gugy, Elizabeth Wilkinson, and Rebecca and Peggy from St. James Cemetery, also known as the Old Protestant Cemetery, in Trois-Rivières, Quebec.

Annie Hyland, perhaps better known to many as Sister Saint-Patrice (1873-1939), chose a life of duty and service with the Grey Nuns in Nicolet in 1893.
Serving as a music teacher and later a nurse at Saint Mary’s Residential School in Cardston, Alberta, located on the Blood Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy, Annie’s story is connected to the shameful history and legacy of Canada’s residential school system. Host Julie Miller tells the poignant and difficult story about Annie Hyland from the Cimetière des Soeurs grises, in Nicolet, Quebec.

Leger-Jean-Baptiste-Noël Veyssière (1728-1800) was a Récollet priest who converted to Protestantism. A scandalous act indeed! Unable to speak English coherently, Veyssière began his ministry to a congregation largely composed of English-speaking soldiers. Hosts Julie Miller and François Roy tell a funny story on the site that used to be the first Protestant cemetery and the final resting place of this unusual man in Trois-Rivières, Quebec.
