Moi, just moi!







Hi Everybody,

These are two photos from our most recent session in Issoudun. In the group photo we have Koreans (9), Congolese (2), Brazilian (1), Australian (4), French (2), Dutch (1), Kiribati (1), German (1), Italian (2), and American (1 - moi) - a real United Nations. The second photo was taken during the cultural evening when everyone got dressed up. I'm wearing an African dress given to me by the Sisters of Cameroun when we were in South African doing a program there last.

I posted photos last night as well on the group trip to Ars, in France - the parish of Saint Johan Vianney - the famous Cure of Ars. Unfortunately I did something to make a bit long blank space before you grt to the bottom aftet the last photo. Sorry, keep on scrolling down and you'll get the to the end eventually.

Much love and miss you all,
Linda

Hi Everybody,



























































































































































































These are photos from Ars in France where are group recently went to visit. Ars is a little country town that was the parish of Saint John Vianey - the famous Cure of Ars. He lived in the second part of the 18th century and was visited by many thousands of people, including our founder, Jules Chevalier, because of his great holiness. At the time of his death, in fact, he was making a novena (nine days of prayer) for the success of our congregation.
