What do you know about Marie Guyart – better known now as Blessed Marie de l’Incarnation - that intrepid 17th century French woman who immigrated to Canada in 1639.  Join us for the Angela Merici Lecture and discover a complex woman –a contemplative nun who was also a single mother, business woman, pioneer educator, linguist, writer, and the first Ursuline sister to come to North America.

This Lecture has been endowed by the Ursuline Sisters of Chatham
