On Sunday afternoon, we went to an outdoor mass in honor of Saint Anne at this little chapel. (I think she is said to be Jesus' grandmother, Mary's mother?) This chapel is all that's left of a small castle (more like a manor house) that was owned by Anne de Martinipre, a noble woman from the early 17th century who we recently learned is an ancestor of Patrick's (and Ren's of course.) Every year they have this "procession" (see picture) and then an outdoor mass.

This is Ren, Ida (Patrick's Mom), and Patrick inside the little chapel.

We were invited by the property owners (a family from Paris whose daughter, son-in-law, and their three kids live in New York and were visiting) for a glass of champagne after the mass. That's Ren, then Ida, then the man who did a lot of the research about this branch of the family, and me in the foreground.
