To: St. Madeleine Sophie Barat

A beautiful bouquet of yellow roses and a
Welcome note from Sr. Patricia Reiss, RSCJ greeted me
upon my arrival to Oakwood on May 26, 2011 

July 26, 1838 ~  Philippine writes to Madeleine Sophie Barat: "By your letter of May 1, my incomparable friend, you arranged a most acceptable bouquet for me by giving me news of yourself and details about the interesting work for poor children which you are now carrying on at Sainte Marie.  How happy it makes me to know that this dear home of happiness continues to be a center of virtue where God can take delight!"

Taken from the book:  Through the Year with Philippine Duchesne
