FROM ST. JEAN PORT JOLI
On December 15, 1902, Miss Euphémie Massé offered the principalship of a village school, but seemed to negotiate without the Pastor's approval {…} and that of the 
Quebec Archbishop. (
R-1 and C-2) 

Nothing happened.   (R-1)

FROM MATAPÉDIA
Mrs. Doiron, the Railway Station hotel manager, was moved by the Sisters' embarrassment; she offered them hospitality provided they would work under her 
supervison: the Superior would teach her two daughters and
the other Sisters
would attend to various tasks in the hotel. {…}
(R-1)

Nothing happened.

FROM LABRADOR
Upon Mgr. Bossé's request, Father Gustave Blanche, Provincial of the Eudists, was prepared to help his fellow-country religious.  He offered to meet the Superior at Rogersville on May 21st.  Having been recently appointed apostolic vicar of the St. Lawrence Gulf Region, he would employ the Sisters for the running of schools and the care of rectories {…} (R-2)

Nothing happened

Mgr Narcisse Zéphirin Lorrain, D.D., Bishop of Pembroke 
{…} The kind Bishop welcomed the Sisters, but since his diocese was a recent foundation, he did not know where he could place them! (R-2) (For further references on this event, see: Episode 9 of Centenary).

Divine Providence awaited us elsewhere; we did not know it.  (R-2)

Mgr Émard of Valleyfield
During her trip on the "Lake Champlain", on her way to Canada, Sr. St. Eugénie had met a highly respected Canadian, Mr. Emard, the Bishop of Valleyfield’s nephew, who promised her to contact his uncle, if needed {…} "Let them come," said the Bishop "they are welcome."  They started off. While going through Montreal, they paid a visit to Doctor Ethier, who gave them a letter for his friend, the General Vicar. They headed for Valleyfield with a hope-filled heart, but their dream soon collapsed. (R-2)

Divine Providence awaited us elsewhere; we did not know it.

Monsignor, the Bishop of Chatham, New Brunswick
Fr. Albert, Capuchin, Pastor of Limoilou, had many acquaintances: he attempted a contact with Monsignor, the Bishop of Chatham, New Brunswick. (R-1)

Divine Providence awaited us elsewhere; we did not know it.
