From the age of reason, Jeanne [Sr. Rosalie] had thought of consecrating
herself to God. None of the joys of the world attracted her. She
wanted no part of its celebrations or glitter. At the same time, she
felt drawn by its groans and misery. –Armand de Melun

This presentation contains excerpts from her biography written by Sr. Louise Sullivan, D.C.
