​What might we learn from Philippine in order to work more effectively for racial justice and reconciliation? Convinced that this reflection on Philippine is impossible without the guidance of the Spirit, we invite you to join us in a week of prayer and reflection.

    Looking back 70 years: The groundbreaking of the Shrine of Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne

    After Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne died on November 18, 1852, she was buried on the convent grounds in St. Charles, Missouri. Three years later, Mother Aloysia Jacquet, RSCJ, had a small octagonal shrine built in honor of Our Lady of the Pillar on the grounds of the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Charles. Soon after, Mother Duchesne’s remains were removed from the cemetery and placed in this shrine where she rested for almost 100 years.
