13 AUG, 2019. The official launch of the recently re-located Irish Region and Institute Archives (from Monaghan to Blakestown in Dublin) took place on June 28, the feast of the Sacred Heart. This date is significant to the Sisters of St Louis, because, on that day, the Turkenstein Pact was signed by three of our ancestors - Louis Colmar, Louise Humann and Thérèse Brek.

Last month, more than 150 friends and supporters, including the Sisters of St Louis, attended the charity’s annual event, in which the theme was, “The Power of Community” in collaborating to end the scourge of human trafficking. The highlight of the evening was the introduction of a new and exciting mentorship program called WINGS (Welcoming and Inspiring New Growth as Sisters).
