Anniversary of the death of John Baptist Debrabant

“… May this date, February 18th, which will be ever remembered in La Sainte-Union, be a day of new beginnings and a point of departure for a more perfect life.”  (Mother Archange Lebrun on the first Anniversary of our Founder’s death.  11 February 1881)

Dear Sisters,
Happy Feast Day of our Founder.
The remembrance of the anniversary of the death of Fr. Debrabant each year gives us the opportunity to celebrate our belonging to Holy Union. It is also a time to be aware of how we allow God to touch others through us as did our Founder, through his action for the poor of his time and society. His was the way of synodality with the ppor. He lived and experienced them in their vulnerability and embraced then/it with a fervent love that could not be measured. 
We, as carriers of the flame he ignited/lighted for the poor, are called to look at reality in the different contexts where we find ourselves and (be able to) radiate the same light through our words, thoughts, actions, and presence. 
HAPPY FEAST OF OUR FOUNDER                  
          BONNE FÊTE DE NOTRE FONDATEUR                               
                        FELIZ FIESTA DE NUESTRO FUNDADOR
