Bicentenary celebrations across the province
Each in their own unique way, the communities of our Europe – Togo Province have gathered to mark the opening of this jubilee year!
Join us for a journey through the first moments of our bicentennial:
Celebration in Dublin
“Greetings from Dublin. Was in union with you all for Bicentenary celebrations. Here in Ireland, it was the feast of our National Female Saint Brigid. It is said that her flame 🔥 was lit for 1,000 years in the past and relit in modern times. I, with others, brought her flame across the country from St Brigid’s sanctuary Kildare in the east of the country to Knock in the west. We stopped and prayed at ancient Celtic Christian sites on route. Blessings Helen ♥️”
The young professed sisters of the province wish you a blessed entry into this bicentennial year.
Our prayer this morning in Toulouse, at the start of our Congregation’s bicentenary.
community of Kremlin-Bicêtre open its doors!
Around 60 to 80 people, mostly from the parish, attended, and and it was a wonderful celebration! Warm and joyful moments were shared around a generous buffet, along with three workshops:
- 1/ Sharing and reflection on the writings of Mother Thérèse and Father Terme,
- 2/ A time of prayer in the oratory, with biblical readings, moments of silence, and an invitation to leave a note or a prayer in our guestbook,
- 3/ A video retracing the history of our foundation, followed by a time of questions and answers about the congregation.
The afternoon concluded with a beautiful time of prayer together in the oratory.
The Bicentenary is open, wide open, in Kremlin-Bicêtre!
