En 1903, l’expulsion de France des congrégations religieuses non autorisées amène de nombreux maristes à chercher refuge à l’étranger. Plus de 76 frères s’établissent alors au Québec. Cette année-là, la province mariste d’Amérique du Nord est créée. Elle est divisée en deux provinces distinctes en 1911, une canadienne et l’autre américaine, en conséquence de la croissance rapide des effectifs de la communauté. À cette époque, 229 frères maristes sont au Canada, présents dans 35 établissements, essentiellement au Québec. L’expansion de la communauté se poursuit ensuite dans la province, notamment dans les régions de Montréal, de la Gaspésie et du Saguenay. En 1929, la maison provinciale, le juvénat et le scolasticat sont transférés dans un nouvel édifice à Iberville sur les bords de la rivière Richelieu.

Translated from the above noted text:

In 1903, the expulsion from France of unauthorized religious congregations led many Marists to seek refuge abroad. More than 76 brothers then settled in Quebec. That year, the Marist Province of North America was created. It was divided into two separate provinces in 1911, one Canadian and the other American, as a result of the rapid growth in the membership of the community. At that time, 229 Marist Brothers were in Canada, present in 35 establishments, mainly in Quebec. The expansion of the community then continued in the province, notably in the regions of Montreal, the Gaspé and the Saguenay. In 1929, the provincial house, the juniorate and the scholasticate were transferred to a new building in Iberville on the banks of the Richelieu river.
