In the letter of Father Claude Chauchetière of October 14, 1682, he writes that one the Sisters of Catherine had been received as a Nun in the hospital of Ville Marie (the hospital Hôtel-Dieu; that is, the Religious Hospitalers of Saint Joseph). In the archives of the Religious Hospitalers of Saint Joseph (Religieuses hospitalières de Saint-Joseph), there was not a Native girl that enter their order. But in the history of the Congregation of Notre-Dame of Ville Marie, Marie Barbe Attontinon entered their community in 1679 (1680), took the habit and pronounced the formula, in practice among the Sisters at the time. She remained twelve years at the Congregation and as she advanced in years that her angelic virtues gained all hearts. She was born in 1656 and in the village of Onondaga. She died in their midst at thirty-five years old. The Sisters buried her on Tuesday November 27, 1691, at the Notre-Dame Church in Ville Marie.
