Our Prayers and Gratitude |
Your Intentions are in our Prayers

Jeanne Jugan always spoke of "our dear benefactors" to the novices who noticed her enthusiastic admiration for these special members of her religious family.
"She told me to thank our benefactors warmly, and that she had not forgotten all that they had done for our dear poor," related one young professed.
Jeanne Jugan had deep faith toward the benefactors who did and would support their Homes.
"What gratitude we owe them! What could we do without them for our dear old people? Let us pray very hard for their intentions," she would say.
The imprint of Jeanne Jugan's faith and gratitude is carried deeply in the heart of every Little Sister who follows her example and encouragement.
"My little ones, we must not merely promise to pray for our benefactors, we must truly pray for them afterwards," she directed.
