Eugenia Ravasio

In twelve years of missionary activity she opened over 70 centres – each with infirmary, school and church – in the remotest spots of Africa, Asia and Europe.

Tanios Toni Kawas, having 6 young girls and no schools for them, invited many religious congregations, but only Ravasio responded to his request.

As part of her work with lepers on the Ivory Coast she was instrumental in promoting and popularizing the use of chemotherapy for the cure of leprosy, by orally administering chaulmoogra oil[2] which was extracted from the seed of a tropical plant.

In recognition of this achievement, France conferred the Couronne Civique, the highest national honour for social work, on the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Apostles, of which Ravasio was Superior General from 1935 to 1947.

Supporting it with his left hand, then he sat down next to me... Ravasio also wrote messages from God the Father to Bishop Alexandre Caillot, who later approved of the book.

You must join with the father confessor of this “little plant” (Mother Eugenia) of My Son Jesus, in promoting this work" Ravasio also wrote of acts by the Devil.
