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.

Linda, These pictures are great. I had to laugh because while I was scrolling through the abyss, you threw in a "Hi Everybody" which was like coming to a rest stop during a long trip. Keep those pics coming. I love the old architecture and always love seeing you. Love ya, Gini
