This spring marks 50 years since the formation of Development & Peace. Join in the celebrations by reflecting on the incredible history through Joe Gunn's article in the Prairie Messenger: http://www.prairiemessenger.ca/17_05_10/D&P_1_17_05_10.html or the D&P Jubilee Book: https://www.devp.org/en/articles/development-and-peace-launches-jubilee-book-celebrate-50-years-solidarity
When the call came in, we answered: “Yes!”
On Saturday, June 10, a group of young people from 18 to 35 years of age on a pilgrimage throughout Montreal, expressed the desire to visit the heart of Marguerite Bourgeoys and the Mother house chapel. How could we possibly refuse welcoming them for a moment of reflection and sharing?
On Sunday, June 11, about fifteen CND sisters attended a Mass at Marguerite- Bourgeoys Parish in honour of the parish’s patron saint, our holy foundress. The church was completely filled; the children’s choir, well directed; the parish priest, enthusiastic; and the young families, devoted. All this demonstrated that Christ lives in our world.
Our thanks to Sister Sophie Mbougoum, who played a fille du Roy, and to Sister Violaine Paradis, in the role of Marguerite Bourgeoys, for having led the interactive conference from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
