400th Anniversary of the “Lumiere” of St Louise

June 18, 2023

The weekend of the 3rd and 4th of June 2023, marked the Opening of the 4th Centenary of the “Light of Pentecost”. The event reminded us of the day when St. Louise de Marillac received from the Holy Spirit the revelation that changed her whole life. During these days, the relics of St. Louise’s writings were transferred from the Mother House of the Congregation of the Mission to the Mother House of the Daughters of Charity in Paris.
