To: St. Madeleine Sophie Barat



The above icon was commissioned by Sacred Heart Schools Chicago
and the original hangs in their newly refurbished Chapel.
by Artist and Iconographer Patricia Reid, RSCJ


July 18, 1823 ~  On this day Philippine writes to Madeleine Sophie Barat, "We have had the honor of being severely criticized, and in order to undermine our work still further it is now reported that we are leaving here.  There are people who wish we would do so.  We must devote ourselves more and more to the poor and to our own perfection" 


Take from the book: Through the Year with Philippine Duchesne
