We all know the story; the details are familiar. Mary is pregnant with God’s Son. Joseph, her husband, is at her side. Political officials have decreed that they must go to Bethlehem to register. Rome, the oppressor, was keeping track of her subjects. Joseph walks while Mary sits astride their donkey for the arduous journey from Galilee. When they arrive, there is no room for them in any dwelling, so they settle for a stable and prepare for the birth of their son.
From July 28 to August 6, 2015, the new members of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame met in Troyes to deepen their understanding of the Congregation’s history by walking in the footsteps of its foundress, Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, a native of this city. They took this opportunity to get to know one another and to work together. Gathered from the eight countries where the Congrégation de Notre-Dame is present, these young, dynamic and committed women are the Congregation’s future.
