Élisabeth Bruyère (or Bruguier) (March 19, 1818 – April 5, 1876) was the founder of the Sisters of Charity of Bytown and opened the first hospital there and the first bilingual school in Ontario.
Biography
She was born as Élisabeth Bruguier in L'Assomption in Lower Canada in 1818. Daughter of Jean Baptiste Charles Bruguier (1763-1824) and Sophie Mercier. The Bruguier name was changed in 1824 when the family moved after the death of her father.
In 1839, she joined the Sisters of Charity of the Hôpital Général of Montreal, also known as the Grey Nuns. In 1845, she was asked to set up a community of the Sisters of Charity at Bytown.

Élisabeth’s First Years
Élisabeth Bruyère was born on March 19, 1818, in the village of L’Assomption, just a few kilometers from Montreal. Her father already had four children at the time of his marriage to a young woman from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Three children were born from this marriage, one of whom was Élisabeth, the eldest of the second marriage. At the young age of six, Élisabeth experienced the deeply painful loss of her dearly beloved father. She experienced the poverty and the sacrifices which resulted from this loss. She left the paternal home to take up residence in Montreal with her mother who became a housekeeper to provide for her family.
Élisabeth attended the school sponsored by the Congregation of Notre-Dame, located in proximity to Our Lady of Bon Secours Chapel. Élisabeth made her first communion in this chapel on May 3, 1827, at age twelve.
