Polish tertians visiting Tours

16/12/2021

On 1st October 2021, the sisters in Tours, France were happy to welcome 11 Polish tertians accompanied by Sr Iwona Skorupa.

The coronavirus crisis had postponed this trip from month to month, but the vaccine and the green pass finally allowed the group to cross the borders, and suddenly the house came alive with conversations using gestures, with a few words gleaned here and there, and a lot of laughter.

In the sun or in the rain, Sister Françoise Vidal, an experienced guide, led the pilgrims in the footsteps of Mary of the Incarnation, who lived in Tours: along the banks of the Loire, the church of St Pierre Ville and the ‘Petite Bourdaisière’ before finishing with a walk along the Loire towards Marmoutiers.

The sisters prayed together in French and Polish. For this beautiful time of sharing, we give thanks to God.
