    PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD Welcome to European Cities Marketing! ECM is a network of people who are driven by a desire to improve the level of tourism to our cities and who are open to sharing those experiences. It is about the friends that we have made and those working in city tourism that we have not met yet. After focusing on keeping all existing projects on track in 2007, it was time in 2008 to chart a course for the future. It was necessary for us to look and determine who we are and what we do and develop strong communication tools. I invite you to read the following report and discover in more detail the activities of European Cities Marketing. An organisation like ours will only get stronger with the support of all our members! Your support is the motivating factor that gives European Cities Marketing a unique culture that has driven success.

  • St. Julie's Canonization 1969
    Annals from the Archives St. Julie’s Canonization 1969 From left to right: Sisters Mary Linscott, Loretto Julia Carroll and Francois de St. Joseph Van Den Eede at the Canonization on June 22, 1969 SND New England Archives, 2013.91 ——No doubt the excitement experienced by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur during the months leading up to the long anticipated canonization of their Foundress in 1969 grew with every passing day. After all, it had been 63 years since Julie’s Beatification in 1906. Once the date—June 22, 1969—was announced, the sisters in New England began planning the trip, scheduling time to attend the canonization, as well as take part in a pilgrimage tour of many of the sites important to Julie’s life. One of the sisters selected to attend the canonization was Sr. Agnes Marguerite McGee, who kept a travel journal from 1957 to 1973. She began the journal while a member of the Notre Dame General Chapter in 1957. Hopes were high at the 1957 Chapter that Julie’s cause, which had been delayed for decades, would receive the final push needed to set a date in the near future for her canonization. After the Beatification in 1906, the Congregation expected Julie’s canonization to occur within a couple of decades. By 1923, though, when there seemed little chance of Julie’s cause being recognized, the sisters began another push with the hope of advocating that their Foundress be named a saint. As part of that effort, they submitted to the Vatican the cure of a man from Namur named Homer Rhodius.
