The Congregation of St. Joseph has been coming to Le Puy since 2004. As more and more lay people serve in various congregational ministries, the sisters are providing them with opportunities to understand and incorporate the SSJ spirituality into their work so that they may carry on the charism. During October 8-15, the group came to Le Puy to learn more about the Congregation’s foundations with on-site visits to the Kitchen, the Tree of the Martyrs, the church where Father Médaille preached, and the rectory where he stayed during his visits to Le Puy. The group also went to Bas- en-Basset and Lyon to see Mother St. John Fontbonne’s birthplace and the motherhouse she founded, respectively. Sr. Carol Crepeau, Mary Frances Ross and Brenda Leroux Babin, both associates, led this pilgrimage this year
