Haití, 12/10/2016, Sr. Ana Patricia Londoño Flórez, administrator.- Surely all of us are tempted to think that Nature is teaching Haiti a lesson, but it is something that we are not so sure; on the contrary, yes, we are sure that that the Congregation and the Province have earnestly engaged and committed themselves to the people of Haiti and are in continuous discernment to give renewed responses according to the needs identified in our places of mission. On this last October 10, during the celebration to mark the functioning of “Marie Poussepin” Pediatric Center in Haiti for a year, we set up a clinical laboratory for the service of the community around. It will take care of not only the children who come for consultation at this center but also the children and adults coming for this service from other institutions as well.

La Grande Bretèche (Tours-France), Summer of 2016, Srs. Gemma Morató and Conchi García.- It is always a pleasure to interview Sr. Dominique du Christ, archivist of our Congregation. She never leaves you unmoved, she makes you reflect. Her wider knowledge of the history of our Congregation makes you aware that you are learning from a trustworthy source. With her energetic character she transmits to us her knowledge; in this interview she presents: what are the archives, what we must keep for the history, what are the fundamental notions that all the sisters must have, as we are the guardians of our patrimony...

Dourdan (France), 09/09/2016, Srs. Gemma Morató and Conchi García.- Vocation is always an adventure which takes us to unexpected places. Licarayen Torres and Cecilia Bellei left their native land, Chile more than two years back to be formed in the international novitiate of the Congregation in Dourdan (France), the birth place of Marie Poussepin, our foundress. We had the opportunity to interview them so that they can share with us their experience and can also encourage others to follow the Lord. The video communicates to us their vision on commitment, who is Marie Poussepin, how to set out to follow the Lord and how to make one’s life a life of commitment and gift.
