A JAPANESE FRIEND
VISIT TROYES

Mr. Yoshito Omori is presently overseeing the construction of a pavilion dedicated to Marguerite Bourgeoys on the campus of the teaching institution run by C.N.D. Sisters in Fukushima, Japan.

Last summer, Mr. Omori visited Troyes, the birthplace of Marguerite Bourgeoys, and brought back to Japan earth and pieces of old stones. Previously, he had received from Montreal stones taken from Maison St-Gabriel and from Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel.

Upon his return from Troyes, he had the original idea of grinding the material from Montreal and Troyes to powder and mixing it with Japanese soil to make tiles that will decorate the exterior wall of the pavilion under construction in Fukushima.

An invitation to admire at close range these tiles impregnated with history, during your next visit to Japan...
