Italian Sisters of Cuneo Make France Pilgrimage

Sister Gemma Dalmasso (right) of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cuneo, Italy, brought three young Congolese sisters from her community and two Italian sisters from Pinerolo, Italy, for a pilgrimage to Le Puy on May 19-20. They stayed at the Centre for one night and visited the Kitchen and the Living History Centre before they headed out for Annecy, France, the next morning on their way back to Italy.

The sisters' pilgrimage in France included a visit to Lourdes and Carcasonne, birthplace of Father Medaille.

The sisters were accompanied by Giampiero Martini, their driver, who made sure the sisters were comfortable and safe at all times.
