A Pilgrimage to Douai France where We Were Founded

Our Sisters are taking a well-deserved summer break this month, but wanted to share with you a talk given by Sr. Rita Beaudoin, one of our beloved Sisters who died on January 18th of this year.  In 2003 Sr. Rita delivered this talk to a group of Holy Union Associates about her pilgrimage to Douai, France where the order was founded.  Its purpose was to educate them on our congregation's history and to bring it to life, as only she could.  She references a number of photographs in her talk, and we regret this podcast medium does not accommodate visually sharing them with you.  Regardless, we hope you enjoy this wonderful lesson from a masterful teacher who so many remember with great fondness.  Note: the technology used to record this talk twenty years ago has resulted in a somewhat grainy quality by today's standards.
