Beautiful LePuy, France
Mother St. John Fontbonne’s bedroom in Lyon

In the Fall of 2003 a group of our Sisters will
be making a pilgrimage to LePuy and other French cities
to visit the foundation and origins of the Sisters of
St. Joseph.
Plans are underway to select the representative group
of Sisters.
This is the second pilgrimage to be organized by the
Canadian Federation. The first group of 24 pilgrims
visited from April 28th -May 13th in 2001 and enjoyed
such sights as Mother St. John Fontbonne’s room
and tomb in Lyon, as well as being introduced to a wealth
of archival material.
Most significant was the tremendous joy they expressed
in making pilgrimage, truly walking in the spirit of
our early founding Sisters, imbibing the sights and
sounds, the tales and heart moving stories of our Fontbonne
women of old.
For many, this truly was a life changing event. Future
updates on Pilgrimage 2003 will be posted on this Web
Site.
