I had the pleasure to visit and tour the St. Marguerite d’Youville Museum and Shrine in Varennes, Quebec. Thank you to Nicole Schryburt for arranging this visit for myself, Penny Craig and Ellen Schryburt, 2 past National Council Presidents.

This visit helped us learn more about the life of St. Marguerite d’Youville, our National Council of Canada patron saint. Check out sanctuaireyouville.ca. We also visited the Basilica of Saint Anne located next door where her tomb is located. Check out BASILICA OF SAINT ANNE – Sanctuary of Saint Marguerite d’Youville.

A video and book about the life of St. Marguerite d’Youville was purchased which will be kept in the National Council library. We are happy to share these resources with you. Email me at president@ssvp.ca if interested.

Linda Dollard, National President
