SCA Celebrates Feast of St. Louise de Marillac.

Born on 12th August, 1591 and called to eternal glory on March 15, 1660, Louise de Marillac was canonized a saint in 1934.

St. Louise de Marillac was proclaimed the patroness of social works by His Holiness Pope John XXIII in 1963.

Also, she is the patron saint of sick people, widows and orphans.

Her commitments were advocating for people who are poor: Love of and preference for the poor as to orient the entire community in favor of the poor/persons in poverty situations; readily working for truth, justice and peace at all times; consistently living simple and transparent lives in relationships and chosen careers.

Observing social responsibility and accountability in the classroom, in the community and in the workplace; including a passion that engenders caring, compassionate life witnessing in human communities, among fellow citizens and within the church.

SIMPLICITY: Love of and living out of truth and freedom, honesty and transparency in relationships, living a modest and simple lifestyle in solidarity with the less privileged.

At Safe-Child Advocacy, Catholic Archdiocese of Kumasi, we joined the Daughters of Charity sisters all over the world to celebrate phenomenal impact of their co-founder, St. Louise de Marillac on her Feast Day.
