My Ventures Away

Today was a good day. It was raining this morning and the temperature was enjoyable I dare say. I left to do some research for my group project on the church and sisters of St. Joseph Cluny here in St. Louis. I met with sister Marie-Albèrt and chatted for almost 2 hours. I think that means we’re considered friends now. She was awesome. The oldest sister at the school and a french woman who’s been here since 1990.

The Church does some great things here, and with no intention of “converting” muslims. In the Catholic school only 50 out of 650 students are christian. They are just here to serve, based on their founding sister’s personal life goal: To serve God through care of the poor, sick and little girls. They’re big on promoting education of girls and have a center that teaches mothers health and hygiene as well as provides milk for malnourished infants or orphans. I’m into it.

Shout out to Marie-Albèrt.
