Giovanna Uchino and Sr. M. Clementine Kazadi to visit from 12th November until 6th December 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The busy schedule\u00a0embraced the visit to our 5 communities. Boston, Los Angeles, Fresno, Athlone and Boston. We were blessed to have the Councillors with us for the opening of the preparations for the Centenary which gave the opportunity to launch this significant event for our Congregation in communion with our Congregation throughout the world. The Sisters on visitation also had the opportunity to meet with some of the Bishops in the places where we minister- reaffirming our mission at the heart of the Church and in collaboration, with a synodal vision which seeks to walk with hope through the brokenness of our Church and our world.<\/p>\n<p>Each community is distinct in its outreach and mission and they are\u00a0truly an intercultural group. The nations they\u00a0come from are as follows: USA, the Philippines, Italy, Ireland, M\u00e9xico, Nicaragua, Holland, New Zealand, South Korea, Western\u00a0Samoa, Scotland, India, Colombia, Vietnam, Japan. From the youngest to the oldest, there continues to be much life and energy, especially\u00a0with the pastoral outreach to priests, our Liturgical Centres, places of prayer and Adoration Chapels, our mission to and with the Pauline Co-operators, and the ministry of prayer\u00a0and service through Lectio Divina and catechesis. Key to all this outreach is the ongoing prayers and support of our elderly members who sustain everything with their intercession.<\/p>\n<p>It was a time of welcome for the Councillors where we experienced the light and grace of God! As one sister said: \u201cIt was good to be together: sisters among sisters and share with simplicity and respect.\u201d As we journey towards the 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0General Chapter, we pray for an abundance of grace so as to continue our journey as Women of the Gospel, as we seek to live together in unity\u00a0of strength and purpose.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid element_width=&#8221;2&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1672304102434-76006502-16c8-5&#8243; include=&#8221;34058,34059,34060,34061,34062,34063,34064,34065,34066,34067,34068,34069,34070,34071,34072,34073,34074,34075,34076,34077,34078,34079,34080,34081,34082,34083,34084,34085,34086,34087,34088,34089,34090,34056,34057&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;24px&#8221;][vc_column_text]PDDM Irlanda-USA:\u00a0The Delegation of Ireland \/ United State of America were delighted to welcome the 2 General Councilors, Sr. M.
