The participants of the 82nd SVD International Tertiate Renewal Program came today to meet with us and to get to know our Co-foundress, Mother Mary Michael. For some of them it is their first time to see a “pink Sister” in person. Like our Missionary Sisters, we have close ties with them since they are [...]
It was such a beautiful Sunday morning! After Holy Mass I went to the veranda to pray. I looked out and saw small boats sailing on the Maas River behind our convent. It was so peaceful. I thought of capturing the peaceful scene with the camera. After I set it up, I just looked out [...]

On June 13, 2015, our convent in Chile: Eucaristico Corazon de Jesus, was finally blessed and inaugurated after long waitings and many trials during the construction period. Yet even if they have to undergo many challenges along the way, they have also experienced the goodness of many people from the surroundings and other places. They [...]
