Happy New Year’s Eve from St Francis de Sales

Posted on December 31, 2017 by the Sisters

 

 

” Here we are at the end of the old year; tomorrow will be the beginning of the new. We must bless the Lord for the many graces we have received. May it please God that by the means of these fleeting years we may happily arrive at the permanent year of a blessed eternity! Let us make good use of these small passing moments, living them out in that kindness and humility which Jesus, right from the time He was a child, taught us.”

Posted on October 1, 2017 by the Sisters

The Visitation Order held its first General Assembly in Annecy France from Sept 18-27, 2017 and Mother Susan Marie of our Brooklyn community was privileged to attend, along with 34  other Visitandines from around the world.

After 25 years since the last Assembly, there was much to discuss. Especially significant were the conferences on the Heart of Christ and the Spiritual Directory.

The Sisters also contributed their thoughts about enclosure, formation, use of the media, unity and diversity and solidarity among the communities.
