She works in consultation with two sisters, Annie Vanhamel and Bernadette Janssens, and with Mrs. Yolande Remes.The Mission of this ProvinceBecause the sisters increasingly felt the need to respond to what was happening in society and no longer worked exclusively in convent buildings or school buildings. Fulfilling their mission &#8220;extra muros&#8221; has become their goal. In the province of Northern Belgium, a resolute choice was made for innovation with others apostolates and missions. The sisters left their mark on the history of the provinces of &#8220;Antwerp, Flemish Brabant, East and West Flanders&#8221;. The sisters in Northern Belgium had their own novitiate, first in Bonheiden and then in Berchem. They were very active in education. The &#8216;Nieuwen Bosch&#8217; school in Ghent and the &#8216;Kapelhof&#8217; school in Zele are schools that m\u00e8re Julie knew. That is why SNDdeN novices from all over the world visit Ghent before taking their final vows. In fact, Ghent was the first place in Flanders where Julie Billiart established a communitywho founded a school under her wing.
