Grey Nuns Reading Room, Concordia University, Montréal, Canada

Happy Easter from the converted convent chapel for the Sœurs de la Charité de Montréal (also known as the Sœurs Grises or Grey Nuns). The complex is now a student residence for Concordia students and in 2014 the chapel was converted into a reading room for residents.

For this transformation of the Saint-François-de-Sales church in 2015-17, Diana Cardas kept the library shelves on either sides of the aisle, which can be opened for processions.
