Stories From The Mount

Some children are afraid of people who look, sound, get around differently, or who require more assistance; growing up at the Mount, I never developed that fear. 

Ten years ago, at the age of 52, Sylvia Dongieux suffered a stroke. Prior to this Sylvia owned a consulting company and travelled all over the country for her work. She led an independent, busy and productive life. That all changed in an instant.

So every day Doris “drives” around The Mount and makes it a point to seek out people who may not get many visitors, to see what they might need. An apple, someone to pray with, or even an ice cream cone. 

Each resident has an extraordinary story. Naomi Richardson’s began at The Mount many years ago, as a young woman in her 20’s.  

The gift shop at Providence Mount St. Vincent is a gathering place, full of love and community, yet it is in need of some help.

“It is amazing to witness everyone in art class communicating about their lives through their art and to see how everyone, participants and volunteers alike, support each other in doing.”

Thanks to our generous donors to the Foundation, The Mount’s Spiritual Care team receives extra support to help residents with their spiritual journey.
