In class we discussed the founders and sisters of notre dame and how they were similar as well as different.
The two founders of notre dame de namur were- Julie Billiart and who i call "Fran".
These two women grew up totally different. Fran was raised in a wealthy family. She was well educated and had many opportunities.
JB was raised in an average household. She did not has as much opportunity as Fran.
Fran felt guilty for some of the things she was able to do. She chose to live a life without the riches and pursue her religion and helping others.
JB had a bone disease from all the hard labor she did and people had to see her to seek help. She was bed ridden.
Both women were strong and independent and grew up different but ultimately wanted the same thing.
