18 October marked another occasion for gathering and prayer in preparation for the canonisation of Eugénie Joubert. At the start-of-term meeting for catechists at Sainte Silvia in Rome, Fatima Lucarini highlighted how Blessed Eugénie Joubert can help us to pass on the faith in today’s society.

Father Frédéric Constant, vicar general and pastor of the parish, warmly and graciously welcomed François Vayne and Fatima Lucarini on Sunday, September 13, 2026. They are tireless ambassadors for the “Friends of Blessed Eugénie Joubert” and organizers of a missionary weekend in Corsica centered on Eugénie Joubert.
