The shape of it

The exhibition follows St Margaret Mary from her childhood in Burgundy to the Visitation convent at Paray-le-Monial, where she reported apparitions of Jesus between 27 December 1673 and June 1675.14

It then asks why her name belongs so closely to this parish: the church was established by PIME priests, opened on 25 January 1925, and later erected as a parish in 1949.5

The final room is for prayer, because the devotion to the Sacred Heart is not only a history to learn but a love to receive.1
