| Mosaic of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Old Ursulines Convent complex, French Quarter, New Orleans |
October 8, 1818 ~ Philippine writes to Mother Barat, "Last Saturday, (October 3) we received the first packets of mail from France, when our three boarding pupils arrived. So our Lady, on this day dedicated to her, added to the many graces we owe her that of the foundation of our first American boarding school. We are invoking her under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, as we promised the kind Ursulines we would.
