Spiritan Year Pilgrimage to France May 6-14, 2003 In the Footsteps of the Founders	As part of the Spiritan Year, a pilgrimage was organized to retrace the footsteps of our founders, Claude Poullart des Places and Francis Libermann, as well as to visit other sites in France that are of significance to the Spiritans. PARIS St. Sulpice at Issy

Chapel to Our Lady of Loreto on the beautiful grounds of St. Suplice.   It was here at St. Sulpice that Libermann met two Creole seminarians, M. Le Vavasseur, from Bourbon, and M. Tisserant, from Santo Domingo, both of whom were concerned with the evangelization of poor ex-slaves. This acquaintanceship sowed the seeds of the Society of the Holy Heart of Mary, which Libermann would eventually found and later merge with the Spiritans.
