St. Rose Philippine Duchesne

SAINT OF THE DAY

St. Rose Philippine Duchesne (1769–1852) was born in Grenoble, France, to a wealthy and prominent family. At the age of 18 she joined the Visitation nuns against the wishes of her family, taking her religious name after St. Rose of Lima and St. Philip Neri. During the anti-religious fervor of French Revolution, the "Reign of Terror," her convent was shut down. She then took up the work of providing care for the sick, hiding priests from the revolutionaries, and educating homeless children. When the tensions of the revolution subsided, she rented out her old convent in an attempt to revive her religious order, but the spirit was gone. She and the few remaining nuns of her convent then joined the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since childhood St. Rose Philippine had had a strong desire to do missionary work in the New World, especially among the Native Americans. This was realized in 1818 when she and four nuns traveled across the Atlantic, a journey of eleven weeks, and another seven weeks up the Mississipi river to serve in one of the remotest outposts in the region in St. Charles, Missouri. St. Rose Philippine was a hardy pioneer woman ministering in the Midwest during its difficult frontier days. She opened several schools and served the Potawatomi Indians who gave her the name "Quah-kah-ka-num-ad," meaning, "Woman-who-prays-always."

Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne’s Story Born in Grenoble, France, of a family that was among the new rich, Rose learned political skills from her father and a love of the poor from her mother. The dominant feature of her temperament was a strong and dauntless will, which became the material—and the battlefield—of her holiness. She entered the Visitation of Mary convent at 19, and remained despite family opposition. As the French Revolution broke, the convent was closed, and she began taking care of the poor and sick, opened a school for homeless children, and risked her life helping priests in the underground. Though Rose was as hardy as any of the pioneer women in the wagons rolling west, cold and hunger drove them out—to Florissant, Missouri, where she founded the first Catholic Indian school, adding others in the territory. “In her first decade in America, Mother Duchesne suffered practically every hardship the frontier had to offer, except the threat of Indian massacre—poor lodging, shortages of food, drinking water, fuel and money, forest fires and blazing chimneys, the vagaries of the Missouri climate, cramped living quarters and the privation of all privacy, and the crude manners of children reared in rough surroundings and with only the slightest training in courtesy” (Louise Callan, R.S.C.J., Philippine Duchesne). Finally at age 72, retired and in poor health, Rose got her lifelong wish. A mission was founded at Sugar Creek, Kansas, among the Potawatomi and she was taken along. Though she could not learn their language, they soon named her “Woman-Who-Prays-Always.” While others taught, she prayed. Legend has it that Native American children sneaked behind her as she knelt and sprinkled bits of paper on her habit, and came back hours later to find them undisturbed. Rose Duchesne died in 1852, at the age of 83, and was canonized in 1988. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on November 18. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWasZBKLuGe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Olive Branch Church, Shinbone

11191 Ohio State Route 219

New Knoxville, Auglaize County, Ohio, 45871

Shadrack Montgomery purchased from the State of Ohio 80 acres, on April 13th, 1832 for $1.25 per acre. This purchase was made at the Piqua land Office and was part of the Piqua Land District. In 1832 Shadrack Montgomery was elected a trustee of Duchesne township and reelected in 1835 with 20 votes. In 1835 Washington township was organized from part of Shelby County. In this early history Shadrack is listed as being the first settler in Washington Township, having settled on the border of the old Indian reservation. In 1841, 1/2-acre was deeded to J. Spray, Henry Waltz and Shadrach Montgomery, trustees of Olive Branch, United Brethren in Christ, for a meeting house. The first church was a log structure and was located across the road from the present church. This log structure was used for 13 years and in 1854 a frame church was built on land across the road deeded from Shadrack Montgomery to the Olive Branch trustees on the same location of the present day brick church which was built in 1896.

Olive Branch later became known as Sandusky United Brethren Conference in the early 1900s. In 1946 the United Brethren merged with the Evangelical to form the Evangelical United Brethren. In 1968 they joined with the Methodist to form the present United Methodist Church. At one time this little community that was never platted or formally organized had four churches. The only one to remain is Olive Branch. The Olive Branch church was continuously open from its first conception in 1841 until December 30, 2001, the congregation having disbanded with their last service on that day. It was the wishes of the remaining congregational members to give the church to the Auglaize County Historical Society and they made their wishes known to both the United Methodist Church Lima District office and the Historical Society. After much consideration on both sides the church was formally deeded to the ACHS in 2003.

The Olive Branch church is surrounded on three sides with the cemetery that remains in the care of the Washington Township Trustees. In the cemetery are buried many early pioneers and veterans. On June 29th, 2003, the church was officially placed in the hands of the ACHS with a rededication and memorial service. Two veterans from the War of 1812 and twenty-two Civil War veterans were honored. It is today as it always has been, a church with pews, altar, organ, piano and hymnals, ready for services. The church is available now for historic services, baptisms, weddings and special meetings. Contact Jim McCullough, and ACHS trustee, for more information.

Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne - Feast Day: November 18th - Ordinary Time

Rose-Philippine Duchesne (1769-1852) - religious, of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

ROSE PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE was born August 29, 1769 in Grenoble, France. She was baptized in the Church of St. Louis and received the name of Philip, the apostle, and Rose of Lima, first saint of the new continent. She was educated at the Convent of the Visitation of Ste. Marie d'en Haut, then, drawn to the contemplative life, she became a novice there when she was 18 years old.

At the time of the Revolution in France, the community was dispersed and Philippine returned to her family home, spending her time nursing prisoners and helping others who suffered. After the Concordat of 1801, she tried with some companions to reconstruct the monastery of Ste. Marie but without success.

In 1804, Philippine learned of a new congregation, the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and offered herself and the monastery to the Foundress, Mother Madeleine Sophie Barat. Mother Barat visited Ste. Marie in 1804 and received Philippine and several companions as novices in the Society.

Even as Philippine's desire deepened for the contemplative life, so too her call to the missions became more urgent - a call she had heard since her youth. In a letter she wrote to Mother Barat, she confided a spiritual experience she had had during a night of adoration before the Eucharist on Holy Thursday: "I spent the entire night in the new World ... carrying the Blessed Sacrament to all parts of the land ... I had all my sacrifices to offer: a mother, sisters, family, my mountain! When you say to me 'now I send you', I will respond quickly 'I go"'. She waited, however, another 12 years.

In 1818 Philippine's dream was realized. She was sent to respond to the bishop of the Louisiana territory, who was looking for a congregation of educators to help him evangelize the Indian and French children of his diocese. At St. Charles, near St. Louis, Missouri, she founded the first house of the Society outside France. It was in a log cabin - and with it came all the austerities of frontier life: extreme cold, hard work, lack of funds. She also had difficulty learning English. Communication at best was slow; news often did not arrive from her beloved France. She struggled to remain closely united with the Society in France.

Philippine and four other Religious of the Sacred Heart forged ahead. In 1818 she opened the first free school west of the Mississippi. By 1828 she had founded six houses. These schools were for the young women of Missouri and Louisiana. She loved and served them well, but always in her heart she yearned to serve the American Indians. When she was 72 and no longer superior, a school for the Potawatomi was opened at Sugar Creek, Kansas. Though many thought Philippine was too sick to go, the Jesuit head of the mission insisted: "She must come; she may not be able to do much work, but she will assure success to the mission by praying for us. Her very presence will draw down all manner of heavenly favors on the work".

She was with the Potawatomi but a year; however, her pioneer courage did not weaken, and her long hours of contemplation impelled the Indians to name her, Quah-kah-ka-num-ad, "Woman-Who-Prays-Always".

But Philippine's health could not sustain the regime of village life. In July 1842, she returned to St. Charles, although her heart never lost its desire for the missions: "I feel the same longing for the Rocky Mountain missions and any others like them, that I experienced in France when I first begged to come to America...".

Philippine died at St. Charles, Missouri, November 18, 1852 at the age of 83.

CHICOPEE — The future of small businesses hangs in the balance due to the coronavirus pandemic, and despite uncertainty and disruption, one local dance studio stands firm in its mission: to spread peace and positivity through performance.

Ohana School of Performing Arts, located at 41 Sheridan St. in Chicopee, had to make significant changes to its business model as social-distancing guidelines and safety initiatives were put into place. The studio transitioned to online classes and continues to support families with an interactive Facebook group for dancers and their families, where instructors share craft ideas, new dance moves, story time, and messages of hope and joy.

“We are bringing 50 virtual classes to our studio family each week,” said Ashley Kohl, owner and creative director. She explained that teachers are recording classes from their own homes to ensure that the dancers are staying engaged and active.

In addition to moving to virtual programming, Ohana also shifted tuition terms for the studio — pay what you can, if you can.

“This pandemic has put so many families in a place of severe hardship,” Kohl said, “and I don’t want any child or family to be without the weekly virtual dance class or the good vibes that the Ohana staff brings into their lives.”

Due to the stay-at-home advisory, which Gov. Charlie Baker has implemented until further notice, it is likely that Ohana will not be hosting its June performance, which is the studio’s only for-profit recital of the year. The funds from this performance are typically used to cover overhead costs in the summer months.

In addition to the annual performance, Ohana hosts two charity performances as fundraisers for local nonprofits. To date, Ohana has donated more than $30,000 to various organizations, including Make-A-Wish Foundation Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Willpower Foundation, Miracle League of Western Massachusetts, We Love Riley Fan Club, Arik(q)ue, in addition to Ohana’s nonprofit, One Ohana Inc., that provides scholarships to dancers across the Pioneer Valley.

The impact of lost revenue comes at a particularly challenging time, as the studio was forced to relocate last year, and the business had to secure significant loan funding. Without the consistent tuition and performance revenue, Kohl fears she may have to close Ohana’s doors.

With that in mind, two of Kohl’s close friends, Danielle Barone and Tanyelle Duchesne, organized a fundraiser with a goal of $20,000.

“At the end of this crisis, with whom do you want to share your time? I imagine, for many, it’s with our Ohana and to see our children back doing what they love the most,” Barone said. “The money raised through this campaign goes directly to paying rent, utilities, and teachers, and allows the business to survive this pandemic.”

Added Kohl, “Ohana means family, love, joy, and community, and on behalf of the entire Ohana family, we are beyond moved by this support.”

Mouilleron-Saint-Germain – Hosts Stage 2, TDF 2018

Two clashing characters connected by a solitary town

Clemenceau and De Lattre couldn’t have been more extraordinary. Georges Clemenceau was an intense safeguard of secularism, a Republican and a protestant while Jean de Lattre de Tassigny originated from a moderate catholic family. However they were both conceived in Louilleron-en-Pareds and both wound up marking the peace arrangements that put a conclusion to the two World Wars. They speak to France’s solidarity and assorted variety.

Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929): statesman, named Father Victory or the Tiger. Specialist, columnist and essayist. Expressions sweetheart. In 1898, he distributed in L’Aurore daily paper an acclaimed article by Emile Zola, I Accuse, in which the author guarded Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus, unduly blamed for high conspiracy. Leader of the French gathering in 1917, he was one of the en who marked the WWI peace negotiation in 1919. He kicked the bucket on November 24, 1929 and was covered in Mouchamps (Vendee) under the Tree of Freedom, a cedar his dad had planted in 1848.

Jean de Lattre de Tassigny (1889-1952): French Marshal. His aphorism was: Never submit. Injured in 1914, he met Georges Clemenceau, who stated: Look at this man and bear in mind him. He will go far, exceptionally far.” In March 1939, he turned into the most youthful general in France. In 1942, he was captured and condemned to ten years in prison for his refusal to battle under the Vichy administration. He got away in September 1943 and went to London. On August 15, 1944, he arrived in Provence with the B Army and climbed the Rhone. On May 8, 1945, he marked the German capitulation in Berlin. In 1950, he turned into the French president in Indochina. In 1951, his solitary child was murdered at the Battle of Ninh-Binh. De Lattre kicked the bucket of disease on January 11, 1952. After a national memorial service, he was covered in Mouilleron-en-Pareds and lifted to the rank of Marshal.

MOUILLERON-SAINT-GERMAIN AND CYCLING

A century after WWI, the Tour de France riders will ride on the local place that is known for Georges Clemenceau, who drove France to triumph, and of WWII French Army pioneer Marshal De Lattre de Tassigny, both conceived in Mouilleron. Clemenceau was named the Tiger, a moniker likewise given to various cyclists like four-times dash best on the planet Gregory Beauge or Canada’s Antoine Duchesne, who rode the 2016 Tour. Among the numerous celebrated citations by Clemenceau two would apply to Tour riders flawlessly: “I’m more inspired by the lives of the individuals who fizzled on the grounds that it indicates they endeavored to beat their points of confinement.” Or: “It’s smarter to lose than to win on an indistinguishable side from miscreants”.

Situated in a cycling district, Mouilleron saw the Tour peloton ride past in 2011’s first stage. In 2014, it was the beginning of the ladies’ Route de France with a triumph by Germany’s Claudia Lichtenberg.

In La Châtaigneraie, 5 km from Mouilleron, an indirect will be introduced by Christian Prudhomme and Bernard Hinault as a tribute to 1972 and 1973 French street champion, Roland Berland, who partook in eight versions of the Tour. Presently 73, Berland was conceived in St Laurent de la Salle, 20 km from Mouilleron. Toward the finish of his profession, he turned into a games executive with Peugeot for a long time.

The most meaningful rider from Vendee is Jean-René Bernaudeau, who was conceived in St Maurice-le-Girard, five kilometers from Mouilleron. The Direct Eneergie group supervisor, organizer of the Vendee U novice group in 1991, participated in ten Tours de France, holding the yellow pullover in 1981, when he completed fifth and best youthful rider. Four times champ of the Grand Prix du Midi Libre and world bronze medallist in 1979, Bernaudeau has driven a professional group which under its different names (Bonjour, Brioches-la-Boulangère, Bouygues Télécom, Europcar and Direct Énergie) has won 10 phases of the Tour de France since 2000 and uncovered riders like Sylvain Chavanel, Thomas Voeckler or Lilian Calmejane.

SIGHTS

Clemenceau-Delattre National Museum

To respect its two VIPs, Mouilleron is home to the Clemenceau-Delattre national historical center. Initiated on November 20, 1959, it was first called Museum of the Two Victories and thinks about the lives of two noticeable figures of both World Wars. The exhibition hall backtracks their lives through gems and reports in the specific house in which Jean de Lattre was conceived.

Georges-Clemenceau Museum

Works have been in progress since 2016 in the local place of Georges Clemenceau keeping in mind the end goal to transform it into an exhibition hall respecting the main political figure in France in the principal half of the twentieth century. Three noteworthy topics will be dealt with in the exhibition hall, because of open in 2018: Clemenceau’s political vocation, his interests and his association with his local area of Vendee.

St Hilaire church

The primary piece of the pinnacle, sustained amid the Hundred Years War, had a place with the crude Romanesque church. The fifteenth century strongholds, while rotted, are as yet unmistakable. The Gothic appearance of the present church owes a ton to cleric Basile Bonnet, who had it reestablished in 1865 and shows up on the recolored glass windows. The national memorial service of Marshal De Lattre the Tassigny occurred in the congregation in January 1952. The congregation has the absolute most noteworthy tolls in rustic France. Its 12 chimes ring religious or dishonor music subjects each hour for ten minutes.

Mémorial for the warriors of the French Union in Indochina

In La Bosiniere, near Colline des Moulins (the slope of the Mills), the remembrance speaks to Marshal De Lattre de Tassigny encompassed by warriors from Asia, Africa and an European trooper motivated from his child Bernard, murdered in real life in Indochina. The landmark mirrors the cosmopolitan measurement of the armed forces drove by De Lattre in his profession.

Colline des Moulins (Hill of the Mills)

The slope is bested by three windmills and a speech (De Lattre house of prayer). The site is recorded as a safeguarded common site. The slope, with is trail and cycling circuit, offers an excellent display on the Vendee valley. The plants are floodlit around evening time by an arrangement of LEDs changing power and shading along a 29 days cycle comparing to the lunar cycle.

De Lattre sanctuary

The speech was worked in memory of Bernard de Lattre, the main child of Marshal De Lattre, murdered in real life at the clash of Ninh-Binh in Indochina in May 1951. The sanctuary was initiated on September 14, 1952, which was additionally the commemoration date of an injury got by Marshal de Lattre in 1914.

Wellspring and washhouse

The wellspring was reestablished in the late 1980s after a first rebuilding in 1818. The wellspring was initially worked in the eighteenth century. The nearness of a tiled pipe framework clues at the nearness of a wellspring on the spot in the Middle Ages.

WHAT TO THINK

La Musse brew

In 2018, the La Musse lagers, prepared in Bazoges-en-Pareds got the chalice for French brewers, the prize of excellency at the national horticultural challenge. The prize compensated the goal-oriented work of brewer Maxime Tripoteau, whose unfiltered lagers are made without added substance substances or additives. La Musse produces white brew, ale, pale lager, triple jumps and drain stouts, single bounces and single barrel lagers developed in wooden containers having contained rum, schnaps or whisky. The developing bottling works creates approximately 5,000 hectolitres for every year.

Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne’s Story Born in Grenoble, France, of a family that was among the new rich, Rose learned political skills from her father and a love of the poor from her mother. The dominant feature of her temperament was a strong and dauntless will, which became the material—and the battlefield—of her holiness. She entered the Visitation of Mary convent at 19, and remained despite family opposition. As the French Revolution broke, the convent was closed, and she began taking care of the poor and sick, opened a school for homeless children, and risked her life helping priests in the underground. When the situation cooled, Rose personally rented the former convent, now a shambles, and tried to revive its religious life. The spirit was gone, however, and soon there were only four nuns left. They joined the infant Society of the Sacred Heart, whose young superior, Mother Madeleine Sophie Barat, would be her lifelong friend. In a short time Rose was a superior and supervisor of the novitiate and a school. But since hearing tales of missionary work in Louisiana as a little girl, her ambition was to go to America and work among the Indians. At 49, she thought this would be her work. With four nuns, she spent 11 weeks at sea en route to New Orleans, and seven weeks more on the Mississippi to St. Louis. She then met one of the many disappointments of her life. The bishop had no place for them to live and work among Native Americans. Instead, he sent her to what she sadly called “the remotest village in the U.S.,” St. Charles, Missouri. With characteristic drive and courage, she founded the first free school for girls west of the Mississippi. It was a mistake. Though Rose was as hardy as any of the pioneer women in the wagons rolling west, cold and hunger drove them out—to Florissant, Missouri, where she founded the first Catholic Indian school, adding others in the territory. “In her first decade in America, Mother Duchesne suffered practically every hardship the frontier had to offer, except the threat of Indian massacre—poor lodging, shortages of food, drinking water, fuel and money, forest fires and blazing chimneys, the vagaries of the Missouri climate, cramped living quarters and the privation of all privacy, and the crude manners of children reared in rough surroundings and with only the slightest training in courtesy” (Louise Callan, R.S.C.J., Philippine Duchesne). Finally at age 72, retired and in poor health, Rose got her lifelong wish. A mission was founded at Sugar Creek, Kansas, among the Potawatomi and she was taken along. Though she could not learn their language, they soon named her “Woman-Who-Prays-Always.” While others taught, she prayed. Legend has it that Native American children sneaked behind her as she knelt and sprinkled bits of paper on her habit, and came back hours later to find them undisturbed. Rose Philippine died in 1852, at the age of 83, and was canonized in 1988. Reflection Divine grace channeled Mother Duchesne’s iron will and determination into humility and selflessness, and to a desire not to be made superior. Still, even saints can get involved in silly situations. In an argument with her over a minor change in the sanctuary, a priest threatened to remove the tabernacle. She patiently let herself be criticized by younger nuns for not being progressive enough. For 31 years, she hewed to the line of a dauntless love and an unshakable observance of her religious vows
