Spiritual Renewal Program in Canoas, Brazil

January 9, 2015

“In fidelity to our charism we participate in the mission of Jesus Christ, witnessing God’s goodness and provident care to others.” (SND Constitutions, Art. 3).

Since December 27, 2014 a group of sisters from Our Lady Aparecida Province (Canoas, RS) and Holy Cross Province (Passo Fundo, RS), are gathered in Sitio Notre Dame, located in Nova Santa Rita, RS, to participate in the Spiritual Renewal Program promoted by the Congregation.

The third group of Sisters who are participating in this Program has twenty sisters who live in different states of our country. One missionary sister coming from Peru is also among them.

On January 03, 2015 the sisters had the joy to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Caravágio, in Farroupilha, RS. It was a beautiful day filled with prayer and fraternal sharing.

On January 07, 2015 the group concluded the eleven days of studies, and in the same day the sisters started the annual retreat which is going to end on January 14.

We thank you all for accompanying them with prayers, especially during these days of retreat.
