In September I started my candidacy with the Helpers of the Holy Souls. In April, as part of this, I spent a week in Paris at the ‘Maison Mère’- La Barouillère. It was so good to visit the places associated with Mary of Providence, to learn a bit of the history, rummage in the archives, marvel at the audacity of these women and be inspired by the charism as it continues today. It was also great to meet Helpers form other provinces – even if my limited French pretty much evaded me! The perks of being able to wander round beautiful Paris in glorious weather, sustained by delicious food and wine should perhaps also be mentioned!
