Description:
In 1850, Marie-Josephte Fitzbach opened a refuge for women. The goal was to help women who were without support or who were just released from prison. Fitzbach and her colleagues became known as the Soeurs du Bon Pasteur, and the group has provided a much needed service ever since. This museum details the early days, and is as much social history as religious history, but it's compelling no matter how you look at it.
