Little Sisters of the Poor: The Feast Day of Jeanne Jugan




Little Sisters of the Poor
The Feast Day of Jeanne Jugan
Dear friends of Saint Jeanne Jugan,
On Friday, August 30, we Little Sisters will celebrate the solemnity of our Foundress, Saint Jeanne Jugan, in each of our Homes. Please join us in thanking God for this servant of the elderly poor.
Be assured of a grateful remembrance in Friday's Mass as we pray for all of our families, friends and supporters, asking for St. Jeanne's intercession for your intentions.

- The Little Sisters of the Poor
"Sister and servant of the poor, Jeanne Jugan, we sing to you.
Your loving heart calls us to serve the lowly,
and to praise: Blessed be God!"

- from a hymn written for Saint Jeanne's canonization in 2009
