Sentinels of the morning

: on 17 Jul 2019

La Turena, Bucaramanga (Colombia), 17/07/2019, Sr. Gertrudis Viñas de la Hoz.- "Sentinels of the morning that announce the sunrise" ... thus we begin our day, with our prayer around the "new fire".

We continue the journey through the geography of the Congregation: Province of Santafé, Vice Province of the United States and Communities that depend on the General Government: the Philippines, Rome and Dourdan. In all these communities, the importance of service is emphasized and fidelity to the orientations of the Charism. Among their strengths and challenges, we can point out internationality and a spiritual, charismatic and missionary accompaniment.

At noon, we had the election of the three Sisters who will review the accounts and the Financial Report. They are: Sr. María Dolores García Maquivar, Sr. Martha Lucía Andrade Morales and Sr. Philomina Vengachottil.

In the afternoon, the Commissions resumed their work in the rooms designated for each one. Later they returned to the Chapter Room and two of the Commissions: Economy at the Service of the Charism, and Mission: a Congregation that goes forth, shared the results of their reflection. Finally, Sr. María Elizabeth Caicedo Caicedo, moderator of the day, thanked the Sisters for their presentations and thanked the Assembly for their participation.
