Happy Feast Day!

Today we celebrate the Feast Day of our founder, Claude Poullart des Places, one of the youngest founders of a major religious congregation. Claude Poullart des Places accomplished so much and influenced so many other young people during his short life, that he continues to be a role model for people today.
