On September 14, the Marianist Family honors the Memorial of Venerable Marie Thérèse de Lamourous. She played a significant role in the foundation of the Marianist Family, and her life is an inspiring example of courage and compassion.
To celebrate her legacy, we invite you to explore these two insightful e-publications:
- "Vision and Leadership Styles of Marie Thérèse de Lamourous and Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon" by Alison Cawley: Learn how both of these remarkable women developed their leadership qualities during the chaos of the French Revolution.
- "A Sociologist Considers the Contributions of Marie Thérèse de Lamourous" by Sr. Laura Leming, FMI: This article highlights Marie Thérèse's "best practices" of social ministry, particularly her groundbreaking work with former sex workers at the Miséricorde.
