Visitandines in France and throughout the world join their heartfelt prayers for all those who fought the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and for all people whose hearts are filled with sadness at the loss of so much.

We also give thanks of praise for all that was saved and for the future efforts at rebuilding.

The attendees of Visitation’s 400th anniversary Pilgrimage recall our visit and Mass at Notre Dame, July 10 and 11, 2009.

May our faith stay firm and may this Holy Week bring us to a much closer walk with our Savior, Jesus.
