Coucou les membres de la communauté,
Yesterday, I had the delightful opportunity to have lunch with Ann, one of our cherished members, who traveled all the way from Wyoming to Braga.
Our conversation revolved around our nurturing community, and Ann fondly remembered all the participants of our Community Live Meetings: Barry, Karel, Lynn, and Jeff…
It truly felt like a family gathering, filled with warmth and camaraderie.

Insights from My Conversation with Sophie Roubertie
In other news, I recently collaborated with Sophie Roubertie on a podcast and YouTube video discussing her latest book, “Je reconnais les Saints dans les églises et les musées.”
Click here to listen to our conversation.
Sophie is an esteemed cultural commentator and has been actively involved in promoting French art and history.
Her book provides a comprehensive guide to identifying saints in French churches and museums, which I believe is essential for understanding the rich tapestry of French religious art.
Recognizing these saints enhances your appreciation of art and also deepens your understanding of France’s cultural heritage.
Saints also have incredible lives! During our discussion, Sophie and I explored several significant saints in French history, including Saint Martin de Tours.
Saint Martin is revered for his role in Christianizing France, a pivotal moment in the country’s history. When we talked about him, I told a part of his story that Sophie didn’t know!
I shared the amazing story of Saint Martin during our last Community session on Zoom. You can watch the replay here.
