First and foremost was my visit to the CIF program, where I had the opportunity to dialogue with the members who are participating in the program this year. At the same time, I had the opportunity to address sisters from the area of Asia. I think nine provinces are participating in a three-month session.
While in the Maison-Mère of Paris, I had the opportunity to visit with the nine students of both the Province of Paris and Toulouse, together with their two formators, Father Roberto and Father Herman, two originally from the Province of Colombia, but one now is a member of the Province of Toulouse and the other, the Province of Paris. The makeup of this student body is very international. Although representing two provinces of France, there are students from Romania, students from Vietnam, one from Colombia, another from the Dominican Republic and there is even a diocesan student from China and the others are from France itself.
