On June 13, 7 students from the Holy Cross high school in Le Mans and their accompanist, Anne-Elisabeth Langé, came to the Shrine. After a guided tour of the church by Tiphaine Hamerel, they were able to discuss with Father Romuald Fresnais, teacher at the Holy Cross high school and priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross about his personal and spiritual journey. A beautiful moment of exchange!
