What does the Association do?

• Incorporated in February 1988, it has enlisted so far over 1200 members.

• It regroups all the descendants of Pierre de Saint-Pierre (who came to Canada in 1664) and his wife, Marie Gerbert.

• It published for its members a quartely information Bulletin, "Le de Sainct pierre" containing valuable informations on genealogy and on the History of our Family, its origin, etc.

• It organizes an Annual Reunion for its members and their friends in different places where our ancestors have lived or where many of their descendants have settled. 

• It has organized, in May 1991,1994, 1998 and 2002, interesting trips to different France regions and particularly to Normandy and Bretagne where our ancestors came from, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg.

• Two of its charter members have published interesting books about our family namely a "Repertory of over 10,500 St-Pierre families", all descendants of our common ancestors, and a "History of the Saint-Pierre Family in Canada and France", spanning six centuries from 1393 to 1993.

• It offers the members the possibility of acquiring different souvenirs: our Family pin, our Coat of Arms, T-shirts,  former quartely Bulletins, etc.

• It has erected a monument in Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies on the ancient domaine of Pierre de Saint-Pierre. A street of the village now bears our ancestor's name since our first family Reunion there in 1989.

• It has placed a "plaque-souvenir" in Saint-Pierre's church at Gouy, Normandie, and also in Sainte-Perpetue's church at Sainte-Perpetue de l'Islet. Also a "plaque-souvenir" was place on an ancestor's farm at Princeville.

• The Association is a member of "La Federation des familles-souches quebecoises inc.", thus benefiting from the many advantages offered by this Federation which regroups more than 160 family associations.

• The annual fees are only 25,00 $.
