Reverend Antonio Sangalli, OCD, Postulator of the Cause of Beatification of the Visitandine Servant of God Sister Francoise Therese Martin (Leonie Martin, sibling of St. Therese of Lisieux) has declared a “YEAR OF LEONIE”. This year will honor the 75th anniversary of her passing into eternity and help to increase awareness of Leonie, her life and the Salesian Spirituality that animated her.
The struggle Leonie waged against her weaknesses, her absolute trust in God’s Mercy and her humility, has volumes to say to our contemporary world.
Plans are being made for a bi monthly newsletter and a small museum in the crypt at Caen, her Visitation Monastery, as well as distribution of relics, if possible, at an appropriate time.
All Visitation Monasteries throughout the world are encouraged to find creative ways to celebrate this YEAR of LEONIE. We will share this information as we learn of it.
Any favors received through Leonie’s intercession should be documented and information sent to: visitation@leonie-martin.fr
Please keep this Year of Leonie in your prayers. Thank you!
