Many sisters and associates have taken an active role in helping to relieve the plight of refugees as they arrive and settle in Canada. Several requests were received from Congregation of Notre Dame Sisters across the country requesting financial support for refugee support projects in their local areas. All such requests were reviewed and received approval.
We extend a warm welcome to Sister Évangéline Mengue who joined the Marguerite Bourgeoys community in Summerside on January 24, 2016. Sister Évangéline is taking two months from her ministry in Cameroon to further develop her English language skills. She will also spend time with our sisters at de Sève residence in Montreal. We wish Évangéline a peaceful enriching time among us.
This General Conference, January 19-27, 2016, will be the last conference of the General Administration’s mandate before the summer General Chapter.
We are grateful for all the preparations that go into such international gatherings and for the vision, planning and leadership we experience during these times.
For this conference, Leadership has been chosen as the topic for our enrichment. Sister Anne Chapell, sscj, will be our resource person.
