Celebrating Advent!

Below is a wonderful photo taken by Sr. Middia Doute, RJM.  She and Marie-Jo Desir created a creche in our Patrice Galvin library.    The preschoolers are invited to come, see, touch,  ask questions and pray.

Sr. Farzana Phillips, RJM has written from Haiti to give an update on the continuing plight of those affected by last August's magnitude 7.2 earthquake.

For most of us, November 2^nd is “All Souls Day,” but for many of our neighbors to the south, it is “The Day of the Dead.” 

Srs. Natalia, RJM and Rosa Mejia, RJM are going from door to door to listen and pray with the migrant families in Spanish or Portuguese, at the hotel shelter run by Catholic Charities. (Sr. Rosa is here from the Province of Mexico to work with the migrants until late December).

Global Sisters Report has published an interview with Sr. Rosemary Nicholson, RJM, written by Melissa Cedillo.  Below is an excerpt of the entire interview which is attached to Bridges.

We arrived very well, with Sr. Yudith Pereira, RJM. We passed through Santo Domingo and came to Port-au-Prince in a small 20-seater plane.

Each Wednesday evening during the Season of Creation, which ended October 4th, each of the RJM communities had a special prayer service. An excerpt from St. Tim’s September 29th service is below.

It was the first time for Sr. Valle Chías González-Blanch, RJM and Sr. Curín José García Calvo, RJM to visit the monthly celebration of the “Pastoral Timoun Piti” in Beldorin.

“Towards an ever-wider WE” is the theme chosen by the Holy Father for the 107th World Day of Migrants and Refugees on September 26th.
