... and Sr Christiane hand over the results of the group work in Germany. The US Sisters take them to the international meeting in SA.
Sisters Gabriella Williams and Gladys Echenique from Tuscon/Arizona (USA) and Dominic Marie Bonnici from California (USA) made a stopover at Senior Citizens’ Residence Kist on their trip to South Africa for the international meeting of our congregation.
The Sisters stayed in Kist over the New Year from December 30, 2024 to January 2, 2025 and celebrated the New Year together with their fellow Sisters living in the Senior Citizens’ Residence.
Both sides were very happy to see each other again. Some of the Sisters had lived and worked together in different places for different lengths of time in the past and were finally able to meet up again - in some cases after a very long time. That was a joy for everyone of them.
Sr Gabriella currently works in Tuscon/Arizona in the “Casa Maria Soup Kitchen”Sr Gladys works for the Diocese of Tuscon, for the Spanish-speaking parishes. Sr Dominic Marie works in the “Christ the King” parish.
