Class of 1968 Reunion Weekend - October 17-19

The Class of 1968 celebrated their 40th anniversary reunion, to coincide with the Marianopolis Centennial Heritage Day in Old Montreal. Fifteen graduates from across the country reunited over the weekend to renew old friendships, share memories, and join their alma mater in honouring its 100th birthday.

The festivities began Friday, October 17 with a wine and cheese reception on campus and a tour of the new Marianoplis facilities. They were joined by their former professor Dr. Margaret Taussig. The next day, the enthusiastic group participated in the walking tour of Old Montreal (given by Sisters Patricia Simpson and Joyce Roberts) and the celebratory mass in Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours chapel as part of the College's Centennial Heritage Day. Sunday brunch at the Delta Montreal wrapped up the weekend, and the members of the Class of 1968 said farewell with the promise to do it all over again in five years.

Help us find alumni from your graduation year

There are many Marianopolis graduates from the University Years for whom we have no contact information. You can help us by letting them know about any upcoming reunions, and by asking them to contact us for more information about past and future events.
