« Armand Grou (1892-1961) was pastor of Saint-Laurent from 1942 to 1950.  He did his classical studies at the Saint-Laurent college and was ordained in 1917. Subsequently, Father Grou held various positions: vicar of Saint-Laurent, professor and Superior of the Saint-Laurent college, and Superior of the Quebec City and later the Montreal Scholasticate.
The Grous are one of Saint-Laurent’s oldest families. Their ancestor, Jean Grou, was killed by the Iroquois in 1690. At the beginning of the 18th century, two of his sons moved to Cà´te Notre-Dame-des-Vertus. Pierre and Jean Grou respectively married Louise-Angélique and Marie-Jeanne Cousineau, the daughters of Jean Cousineau, the ancestor of that family. They left numerous progeny. Their descendants include J-A Grou, alderman and Mayor of the city of Saint-Laurent from 1917 to 1919 and 1921 to 1927 »
Grou Street was named april 14th 1950.
