The goal of a spiritual deepening of the Sisters, who celebrated their 25th Anniversary of Profession, was to consider the religious life in the light of the Gospel and in the spirit of our Foundress, Blessed Alphonse Marie and to renew their vocation.
This time, a group of 14 Sisters (3 Sisters from the Hungarian Province and 11 Sisters from the Slovak Province) accompanied by the General Leadership met in Oberbronn (France), the locations of the foundation of our Congregation. The meeting was held from June 28 to July 7, 2022.
It was outstanding to come in the places of the foundation of our Congregation and to consider our religious vocation, God’s work and grace in us and also to thank for a fruitful time.
During the Thanksgiving, at Holy Mass in the oratory, where the reliquary of Blessed Alphonse Marie is placed, the Jubilarians renewed their vows. Renewal of vows is not the repetition of a formula or the solidification in immobility. Renewal of vows means to renew the path of following Christ.
In today’s world, it means to hear Jesus’ call again and to decide, as a community, how we can be meaningful today and to become the yeast for the world in the spirit of our charism. These days were truly a strengthening of our faith and our vocation.
