Our school has so much history. And during founders week we all learned a bit more. And from the handout I learned about Julie and Francoise our Foundresses. I then learned the journey of the sisters and how they were able to transform two small schools to educational successes. Which later became world wide.
From the reading Francoise was isolated from her parents and her siblings. She was raised by her Grandparents. She went to a boarding school at the age of six, where the teachers were nuns. Her grandparents though it was a good idea to keep her away from the social life. She often would attend summer school to avoid the social season. And by her 6th year she learned practice skills that were helpful to household needs. When she was 12 she moved to Ursuline convent in Aminens to finish school and this is when we meet Angela de Merici. She was the founder of Ursuline where she practiced purity. This is when Francoise became encouraged.
Julie was raised in a small, thatched-roof cottage in the village of Cuvilly. Which is a building her at NDNU. Her family belonged neither to the First Estate (the Catholic clergy) nor to the Second (the aristocracy) but to the great mass of laborers. Julies father owned a shop in the Cuvilly village. He sold lace and cloth for clothing. He also owned land. Which made him a bit more average than an average man. But in Julies own way she wanted to be successful so she did that by bringing her own lessons to the children in the village who were unable to go to schools. At the age of nine she was known in the village for gathering children who didn't have an education and educating them on her door step. She had a passion for the poor children who didn't have an education, and that only spoke a loud volume to her character.
