25 July 2024 - Lecture ‘Julie Postel , a life in Barfleur’, by Boris Bonnin

Boris Bonnin shared his passion for the history and personality of Julie Postel with us in this lecture, given to an attentive and enthralled audience.

Who could fail to be interested in the life of this child from Barfleur who was destined for an extraordinary destiny, that of being recognised as a saint by the Catholic Church under the name of Sainte Marie-Madeleine Postel?

This story stops when Julie Postel left Barfleur, before the Congregation of the Sisters of the Christian Schools of Mercy was founded in 1807.

We can’t wait to hear what happens next!
