St. Madeleine Sophie (1779-1865) journeyed extensively in her lifetime, and since her death has continued to travel. On June 19, 2009, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, she made a final journey, home to Paris, to a church just down the street from where she lived as Superior General of the Society.
Her return to Paris after 105 years in Brussels was a joyful and celebrated event attended by Sister Rogers; Mrs. Kathleen Scully Hodges P’95, Assistant Head and Head of Upper School; Mrs. Mary Delaney P’16, Admissions Director; Mrs. Maryanne Shemo Mignone, Chair of the Religion Department; Ms. Nicole Noel, Assistant Head of Upper School; Mrs. Theresa Foster P’02, Director of Special Projects; Sister Joan Magnetti (Manhattanville ’65), Trustee; and Sister Eleanor MacLellan ’47.
