In several upcoming posts in November, I’ll talk about the Oblate Sisters of Providence and how they play a role in my family tree. In St Louis, I found this photograph of Sister Mary Philomena (nee Emma Micheau) and Sister Mary Celestine (nee Adelaide “Addie” Francis Micheau). That’s Sister Philomena on the left and Sister Celestine is on the right. The woman in the middle is Mary Angelique Micheau (1873-1959), also known as “Nin.”
Addie and Nin were the daughters of George Micheau (1852-1942). Emma, the daughter of Marshall Emmanuel Micheau (1878-1954), was their niece.
Nin was not a Nun.

What a great photo Craig! And how awesome to have sisters who became nuns together… makes me think of St. Therese of Lisieux and her sisters.
Can’t wait to learn more about them and their connection to you.
