A few photos indicate the beauty and wonder of the day.

A dream has become reality ! The Saint Joseph International Centre in Le Puy is open!

On October 15, 2004 Mary Diesbourg, Josette Gocella, and Sheila Holly were commissioned to help us bring alive our vision of creating a future where all may be one.They enthusiastically accepted their new mission to be women of hospitality and active inclusive love as they welcome our sisters, associates and friends to the International Centre in Le Puy. Rooted in the land of our origins the Centre team will find ways to bring our charism alive with an ever widening global focus . The global dimension of the Sisters of St. Joseph was already evident at the opening ceremony by the presence of sisters from around the world : representatives of the French, Italian, Canadian and American federations, of the international congregations of Lyon,Chambery and Annecy as well as sisters from the Le Puy area.

All joined in a beautiful ritual of blessing the house and then continued the celebration of this momentous occasion at a simple reception.
