Europe
The 55th General Chapter of our Congregation asked various structures to reflect on restructuration. It was a call to transformation, on the recognition of our vulnerability. It is an invitation to "partner with others to birth a new way of being", making place for the new.
It is in this movement of solidarity that the two provinces of Spain and France are turning towards each other to give birth to the Province of Europe. Sr. Angela Anta and Sr. Véronique Margron, Provincial Superiors at the time, together with their councils, were the first interlocutors in these conversations which had already taken place but which now needed to be deepened in order to be able to take the necessary steps towards our unification. So a commission called "Theodore" (name of the first French sister who was sent to Spain) was set up to create a way of getting to know each other. Initially, this was based on short videos, in which a personal presentation of each sister was made, as well as a presentation of the mission in progress. A few months later, the first meeting took place in Tours. We had a very fraternal time of sharing and reflection. Then it was time for the Chapter and the creation of the new Province.
