SND Handouts

It's foundress week, With the spirit of sisters of Notre Dame, they offered a week full of missions and values. students can do religious things, they learn how to work in groups, how to help others. Stuff also can do the same thing with students. University offers opportunities for all students. As I went today to help my classmates, we prepared meals for poor people and wrote them messages.

Julie Billiart and Francoise were the two Foundresses. The article talked about them, and their early life and education. I also like their spirt and friendship. Their friendship was the foundation of Notre Dame

Francoise was from the age six, she made her first Holy communion. she attended school and she completed her education with Ursulines Amiens. She was the brilliant society of her time. she became more religiously oriented. Her family was rich, she grew up with her grandmother. She had a deep relationship with God. Françoise, whose family belonged to the French aristocracy or nobility, had been presented at the court of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in Versailles! French revolutionists imprisoned and guillotined the king and queen. Then they began executing members of the aristocracy and clergy. Françoise herself was imprisoned, while awaiting execution. Just one day before her date with the guillotine, Maximilian Robespierre, the mastermind of the French Revolution, fell from power, and Françoise was freed.

Julie Billiart was born in a poor family, her education was confined to the rudiments obtained at the village school kept by her uncle. She made her first communion and to be confirmed at age two. She spent her spare time teaching catechism to young people and the farm laborers. At age 22 she lost the use of her legs. she turned to God as the source for her comfort and spent hours in prayer and meditation daily.
