On September 24th, 2026, twelve principals and teachers from Mission Schools and Colleges from around the country will begin their pilgrimage, In the Footsteps of Euphrasie. Beginning in France, visiting Notre Dame College before travelling to Caen and Lyon. It is hoped the participants will experience something of Euphrasie’s journeys both inner and outer, as she gave birth to the Congregation on the hill of Fouviere. We will spend some time in St Rambert, absorbing the wisdom of the origins there and of those who lie in rest there. Our journey to Sturry will allow us to sit beside the tomb of Euphrasie, to speak with her and to listen to her.
Some of us will travel to Rome after meeting the Sisters in London and visiting the Sacred Heart Language School. Being Wednesday, we are hoping to attend the General Audience of Pope Leo, walking the roads Euphrasie would have walked and visiting our RNDM Generalate before travelling home. We are grateful for the hospitality that we will receive along the way. Please keep this pilgrimage and participants in your prayer. Thank you.
