A Visit to Annecy in Honor of St. Francis de Sales & St. Jeanne de Chantal.
In 2010 we visited Annecy, where the mortal remains of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jeanne de Chantal are found, at the Basilica of the Visitation. We also visited the very interesting Museum nearby, which has on display many of their relics.

Profile
Born to the nobility, the daughter of the president of the Parliment of Burgundy who raised her alone after the death of her mother when Jeanne was 18 months old. Married in 1592 at age twenty to Baron de Chantal. Mother of four. Widowed at 28 when the Baron was killed in a hunting accident and died in her arms. Taking a personal vow of chastity, she was forced to live with her father-in-law, which was a period of misery for her. She spent her free time in prayer, and received a vision of the man who would become her spiritual director. In Lent, 1604, she met Saint Francis de Sales, and recognized him as the man in her vision. She became a spiritual student and close friend of Saint Francis, and the two carried on a lengthy correspondence for years. On Trinity Sunday, 6 June 1610 she founded the Order of the Visitation of Our Lady at Annecy, France. The Order was designed for widows and lay women who did not wish the full life of the orders, and Jeanne oversaw the founding of 69 convents. Jeanne spent the rest of her days overseeing the Order, and acting as spiritual advisor to any who desired her wisdom. Visitationist nuns today live a contemplative life, work for women with poor health and widows, and sometimes run schools.

What I loved about Annecy is that the spirit of St. Francis lives on: You can actually borrow for FREE Catholic literature, videos, etc., in a library/bookstore, they have, close to the center of town. I wish more "Catholic" cities would imitate this example...
