The Centre of the
Sisters of St. Joseph Living History is set up as a scenography, in
which different methods are used such as: artifacts, pictures that when
touched show a script,

| The Global Coordinating Group got a preview before the grand opening |
earphones, printed scripts on wall, etc. I could
chose among five languages to use: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
and Italian. I used my senses of touch, sight, feel and hearing. It
was an experience I never had before. I felt like I had been transposed
back before when we were founded in 1650.

It
was especially helpful that the beginnings and growth of the Sisters of
St. Joseph were always set within the context of what was going on in
France politically, the Church and otherwise. I was surprised that
there seemed to be so many wars/conflicts.

| A multimedia experience of our history |
After
we were founded in 1650, there were 16 more communities by 1661. There
was a wave of sometimes growth and other times fewer vocations.
I
enjoyed experiencing the years not only of our founding, but the
history of the LePuy Congregation up to recently when It became part of
the Institute.
