Blessings on the Feast of the Sacred Heart (June 19, 2020)! Here is a collection of reflections, greetings, and celebrations.

"The reality of this moment is teaching us new things on many different levels.... Most important, we need to stay connected to each other."

The RSCJ European Forum for professed of temporary vows, perpetually professed for not more than 10 years, and members of the initial formation teams took place in Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid) from 28 December 2019 to 1 January 2020.

Twenty RSCJ from twelve countries have met in Sophie’s birth place for a six-week Renewal Programme.

“Together, who are we?” We, the youngest members of European rscj, were invited to share hopes, expectations and questions in the context of this question at this point in time, in our reality as region and walking together with the whole Society towards the next General Chapter in 2021.

The International Education Commission met in Rome on the 16th to the 20th of July.

At the turn of the year from 2018 to 2019, the Professed of Temporary Vows (PTV) from Europe met in Rome. With COMMUNITY as the main theme, they shared and reflected on daily experiences of living together -- its joys, difficulties, and invitations to growth.
