Happy birthday, Sister Edwige!

On February 2, 2017,
on the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple,
Sister Edwige of Blauvac became 104 years.

As her Abbess wrote: “She wonders what happened to her because it’s so far beyond her understanding… But she finds it’s not bad !!!”

Sister Edwige Talagrand was born on February 02, 1913 in St Laurent les Bains (France). She entered the monastery on March 11, 1941 and made her solemn profession in 1946.

She is the Venerable Senior of our Order with Father Bernard de Give, of Scourmont, who will be 104 years in a few months… We already wish him a happy birthday!
