Event Host Building

Saint Julie

The church of Saint Julie is located in the convent of the Sisters of Our Lady in Namur. This church was destroyed during the bombardments of 1940 and 1944. It was rebuilt in a modernised Romanesque style. It receives the visit of those who seek a moment of prayer and rest before the shrine of Saint Julie Billiart, founder of the Sisters of Our Lady in Namur.

Located in the church, the Heritage Centre of this sister congregation also offers a space for reflection and conversation about the life and spirituality of Julie.
This centre preserves the history of the sister congregation, a teaching monastic community, which has fortresses on all continents. Her founder, Saint Julie Billiart, dedicated her life to education by establishing free schools for young girls who were less fortunate.
This exhibition was conceived in a very modern way to arouse the emotion and interest of the visitors: videos, photos, memories of the beginning and the expansion all over the world of the Congregation, testimonies.

Young and old will be happy to discover this saint from our regions: a woman with a strong character who, just after the French Revolution, worked to create a better world.
