LORETTE, THE HOUSE OF PAULINE JARICOT
Go there and contact
Pauline-Marie Jaricot was born in a large, Catholic royalist family. Badly affected by the death of his mother in 1814, Pauline-Marie Jaricot decided to devote her life to Christ. His brother Philéas, who became a priest, told her that Paris Foreign Missions Society had financial concerns. She then decided, together with her group of Réparatrices du cœur de Jésus méconnu et méprisé, to set up a fundraising system in the form of infinite chain (each person collects a penny and finds ten people to collect a penny, each of her people should find in turn ten other people…). Fundraising is important. The idea was taken up by a male congregation and, in 1822, the Society for the Propagation of the Faith was founded, playing a decisive role in financing Catholic missions in the 19th and 20th centuries. Pauline, away from her Society, founded the Living Rosary in 1826, a movement to raise funds to help the poor, and Congrégation des Filles de Marie, set in her Maison de Lorette. This Christian laywoman, close to workers and canuts, ended her life in poverty after her fortune had been swindled. Her body rests at Saint-Nizier church. Jean XXIII declared her venerable in 1963, but she remains waiting for her beatification and canonisation. Her house, Montée du Chemin Neuf, is listed as a historic monument.
