In June we published a page of MP3 audios of the eight talks given at an anniversary gathering celebrating the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary (1610 to 2010). It was a gathering of 54 Visitandines from the United States and other parts of the world and was held in June 2011 in St. Louis, MO. The topic of the conference was, “The Procession Honors the Heart of Jesus.” The sisters spoke on the spirituality of the Sacred Heart and the charism and history of the Visitation Order. We share with you the talks of this joyous meeting.
