Friendship days 2024

“Go and invite everyone to the wedding!” Mt 22, 9

On this first day of World Mission Week, the international house, 220 rue de la Convention in Paris, is animated in a truly exceptional way. 

          For several days now, our sisters of the General Council and the General House have been actively preparing the friendship days which are taking place this year for the benefit of the mission in Haiti, and in particular, to help with the schooling of the poor children of Aquin.

On the ground floor of the International House, there are many cakes made by our sisters, to take away or to enjoy on site with the family.

On the first floor we find a large selection of embroidery from Portugal, Madagascar, Mozambique, Ethiopia and countless beautiful things from the different countries where our Congregation is present.

          From Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening, people came one after the other to admire, meet us, and buy.

          Some people discovered our house for the first time. Many people entered our chapel.

These days went as smoothly as possible thanks to the participation and mutual assistance of our youngest sisters from Angola, Brazil, Madagascar and Mozambique.

          As several sisters have expressed, these days have also been an opportunity to make ourselves known and to evangelize.

          We thank all those who participated and, attentive to the message of Pope Francis for World Mission Day 2024, we make our own these words of the Gospel:

          “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations!” Mt 28, 19
