St Madeleine Sophie Barat to dwell in the altar of Notre Dame Cathedral

Next week sees the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, 5 years after the devastating fire that ripped through the beloved  landmark in April 2019. Dwelling within the new cathedral altar, will be relics of five Parisian saints including our founder, St Madeleine Sophie Barat. This is of particular significance for the Society of the Sacred Heart as we approach the centenary of Sophie's canonisation in May 2025.
