In the celebration, the sisters expressed their joy in God's faithfulness in their journey as a response to the call and thanked all the sisters of the Province for the support, prayer and friendship.

Fr. Valdecir, in his homily, emphasized his joy and gratitude for the presence and stimulating witness of the sisters in the early stages of his vocational journey. The celebration was followed by a fraternal dinner which was also animated by songs of good wishes.
