Feast of St. Julie Billiart
Today, the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur celebrate the Feast Day of her foundress, St. Marie-Julie Billiart. It is her feast since her canonisation in 1969.
The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are grateful to the good God for the life of St. Julie Billiart. Her ejaculatory prayer has been the source of the beautiful lives of all Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
The Co-foundress of the Congregation, Françoise Blin de Bourdon wrote on St. Julie’s Feast Day, “My wish for you is that you may become a truly great saint; I ask for you a continual increase in grace, especially the gifts of counsel and fortitude and a perfect charity.”
Come join the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur celebrate this great saint, who abandoned her one and only life in the hands of our good God. “Ah! Qu’il est bon le bon Dieu”, has been St. Julie’s prayer all her life. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur live their lives spreading the goodness of the good God wherever they find themselves with hearts as wide as the world
