Some highlights of our life together.....

 
 
"Communication with other communities and provinces
makes us aware of the needs of the whole Body
and more ready to serve wherever we are sent.

 
Wherever we are, we participate actively
in the life and mission of the Society;

 
we remain united to all our sisters
in the joy of being called and sent forth
to love as Jesus has loved us."

Community of Malta
Visit of the Central Team
 
The Central Team’s Visit to Malta on the 12th to the 16th of February was the first one on their European tour of provinces. Their Visit was truly a beautiful, happy and uplifting experience for us all. Their main message was to instill in us the desire and enthusiasm to continue to share our Society heritage with our lay collaborators and friends in the Sacred Heart Family, while we are still able to do so.

Province of Brazil
Provincial Assembly
 
Our Sisters in the Province of Brazil held their Assembly from 4th till 7th February, starting with a eucharistic celebration.  This was also the launching for all the communities of Philippine's bicentenary, thus marking the direction we wanted to give to this meeting. 

Guided by Carlos Palacio SJ, we had a day of presentation of the reality and the challenges of religious life in this post-modern world, where we are called to deepen our charism, our spirituality, and our mission. To grasp the need for reconfiguration of congregations is a very concrete reality for our life, wherein we are called to a conversion and a letting go of all that might be a "crowning moment" so that we can be immersed in the Gospel of Jesus who reveals to us his GOD: in whom the greatest and most real are his humanity and his littleness.

These were days of prayer, of a lot of listening and transparency among all, of evaluation and a sense of being one Body with the whole Society, touching deeply the hard reality that people are living.

Province of Chile
The Province of Chile gathered for their 2018 Assembly on the 2nd to the 8th of February.
 
“Gathered together in community, with the certainty that the proclamation of the Gospel
is the energy and center of our decisions, and the desire to dream and to venture into new experiences….
 We risk seeing with new eyes.”
