Saint Jane










deChantal Pray For Us

I love the French Saint Jane deChantal's story. She was a widow who founded the Visitation order (which reminds me Holy Trinity picnic at Visitation this Sunday).

As it turns out, she married nobility, but he was broke. Not a shockingly unusual story for some nobility- all is not what it appears. Her cinderella story ended up in a pile of debt that she managed to dig her entire household out of with ingenuity as the story goes.

Her husband was also killed- and he forgave the murderer, as did eventually she.
This is a fitting patron saint for every widow or widower or anyone left spiritual widowed by the assassination of another, spiritual or otherwise.

It is also a fitting and appropriate Patron Saint of the Saint Jane deChantal Group at Holy Trinity who is hosting their "Taste of Spain" dinner this Saturday evening. This should be another amazing gastronomic treat because the lead moderator and master chef, with a few cordon bleu classes under her apron is an inspiring chef and use to hosting diplomatic groups as the former wife of a senior State Dept. diplomat stationed in Paris. The Taste of Spain will feature Paella and Tapas and everything Coasta del Solish featuring wonderful wines.

The dinner follows the 5:30 Mass at Holy Trinity where people gather and then head over to coctail hour meet and greet. It is a fantastic crowd of mature single people (bring a date or not) with a richness and depth of lives well lived and experiences to regail and delight. Dress is casually chic. Price, prix fixe menu is $35.00 for family style unlimited all you can eat food and wine. Best deal in town with a very fun inspiring crowd.
