On this same day, we celebrate:

—The foundation of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Urgell, established in 1859 in La Seu d’Urgell, Spain, by Blessed Anna María Janer Anglarill. Deeply rooted in the spirit of charity and service, the Congregation was created to care for the sick, educate children, and support vulnerable families. Inspired by the Holy Family of Nazareth, the Sisters embody values of simplicity, unity, and loving service. Over the years, their mission has expanded beyond Spain to Latin America, Africa, and Europe, where they continue to serve in schools, hospitals, and pastoral ministries—bringing hope and dignity to those most in need.

—The foundation of the Institute of the Daughters of Our Lady of Graces, was established in 1949 in Campos do Jordão, Brazil, by Monsignor José Vita. As a diocesan Institute of consecrated life, it forms a religious family of women committed to living out the Gospel through the profession of the evangelical counsels. Inspired by Christ who “came not to be served, but to serve,” the Sisters devote their lives to prayer and apostolic service, especially among the most disadvantaged—those who are the privileged of God. Faithful to the spiritual inspiration of their Founder, the Daughters of Our Lady of Graces seek to renew their mission in each generation, drawing from the rich wellsprings of Christian spirituality. In a spirit of radical discipleship and compassion. They strive to continue the healing and merciful work of Christ the Physician and Good Samaritan, always attentive to those most in need.
