True to our nomadic roots litle sister
Magdeleine also founded communities among migrant farm workers,
gypsies, traveling circuses and carnival workers.
In Touggourt, Algeria with friends
Early community among Gypsies.
More recent community among
Gypsy people in Eastern Europe
For 25 years we traveled with circus
workers in the USA. Here they all join in praying a blessing
over the tent at the beginning of season. While we are
not actually on the road right now, we are still in touch with
these friends of many years and miles.
Little Sister Magdeleine died in 1989 at
the age of 91 after celebrating the 50th anniversary of the
foundation and receiving the final approval of the
Constitutions of the congregation that she never started out to
found. She is buried in Rome.
