The Daughters of Charity website says … “We are now “in the final stretch” toward the closing of our General Assembly…

After the elections, all the members are continuing their efforts: dialoging, sharing, studying, clarifying – for “God’s good pleasure” (Saint Vincent) and a better service of persons who are poor.

“Availability and mobility, as deep-rooted attitudes, are necessary in order to be “without borders,” and open to universality.

This common desire was expressed at a plenary session during which a globe of the world was placed on the head table and the phrase of the Apostle Paul to the Galatians was adapted thus:

In Christ, there is no east or west, in Him no south or north, but one great family bound by love throughout the whole wide earth (cf. Ga 3:28).

On Sunday evening during Vespers, in an atmosphere of reflection, we celebrated the sending on mission of five Sisters (four Vietnamese Sisters and one Peruvian Sister): one for the Province of the Caribbean, two for the Province of Central Africa, and two for the Province of the Congo. What joy!”
