Early careerAfter McDonell received her first communion, she was placed in the convent of the Sisters of Charity of Bytown. She joined the order in 1851 and took her vows in March 1853. In 1855, she was sent to the Red River Colony, where a community of nuns had been established by Marie-Louise Valade; she was expected to return after three years. She was in charge of the pharmacy and also taught school. In August 1859, she began the long trip back east.[1] On the second day, a group of Métis led by Louis Riel, Sr. surrounded the cart in which she was travelling and refused to let her go.[3] CareerShe went on to teach school in St Vital, St Norbert and St François Xavier.[3] She helped establish the Académie Sainte-Marie in Upper Fort Garry (later Winnipeg) in 1869.
