On January 4, 2019, in the provincial house of Cochabamba, with an immense joy we celebrated the 25 years of consecration of the first Bolivian sister, Sr. Remberta Chileno, who entered in the Family of the Sisters of Providence.

Already on December 4, the date of her profession, she recalled and celebrated the 25 years of her consecrated life in the mission of Buenos Aires, with the presence of the Bishop of St. Martin, Mgr. Miguel Angel D’Anibale, the parish priest Fr. Claudio Snidero, and many brothers and sisters who showed her their affection and gratitude for all what she accomplished in this mission.

In Cochabamba, a group of eight fellow priests, concelebrated the Eucharist together with the parish priest, Fr. Mario de Alarcòn. Almost all the sisters of the community of Bolivia were present and some came from Argentina and Uruguay.

During the Holy Mass, Sr. Remberta, who was very excited, renewed her consecration and thanked the Lord for these 25 years of fidelity, the religious Family for what she received and many people who accompanied along her journey. Her mother, one sister and a nephew were also present.

After the Eucharistic celebration, all those present were invited to “St. Luigi” hall to continue the feast with a special lunch, toast and folk dances.

A day to say thanks to the Lord with the words of Psalm 117: “In His eternal mercy, as to Virgin Mary, also to our Sr. Remberta, God has done great things and has shown His love and His fidelity”

On February 10, Sunday, in the provincial house of Cochabamba in Bolivia, with much joy we accompanied our novice, Leonarda Poma, who said her yes to the Lord, pledging to follow Him and to serve Him in His church according to the charism of Fr. Luigi. The Eucharistic celebration in the chapel of St. Mark, was presided over by the parish priest, Fr. Mario Dealarcon, and con celebrated by two other Salesian priests in the presence of family members, friends and acquaintances.

All those who participated in the Holy Mass, received the traditional Bolivian refreshment and the family members together with the sisters and priests shared the lunch in simplicity and fraternity of the meeting.

This feast remains in the heart of Sr. Leonarda as an unforgettable day, because she lived in gratitude with new spirit and enthusiasm in following Jesus in the family of Fr. Luigi.

We sincerely thank the entire Religious Family for the prayers and ask the Lord to continue to bless our Religious Family with new vocations.

The day in which the Lord has consecrated me with an indelible sign: LOVE... as the opening song of the Eucharist said: Behold, one day you have conquered me, Lord, and today in the Eucharist I come to seal this love.  
With a kiss on the Cross I told him: I will give my life to you, and Jesus replied: I first loved you and gave my life for you. It was really a very deep moment! 
I am grateful to God for having counted on me to carry on the mission according to the charism of Father Luigi, our Founder. 
I felt very loved also through the small gestures of love that I received from each sister.
Thanks for the unity in prayer; continue to pray for my fidelity to my Divine Spouse Jesus.

FIRST PROFESSION OF SR. SHERON MIRANDA - Sorocaba, Brazil-15, September 2019

"I thank the Lord with all my heart for the grace of finding me on His journey, to make me experience His eternal love and predilection for sinners and to ensure that my littleness should be a sign and witness of saving many brothers and sisters that He Himself places on my path.
I thank the religious Family for the trust and closeness in prayer.
Thanks to the Province of Nostra Signora Aparecida for welcoming me, and the sisters of the formation community, and those of the Provincial House, the Mothers of Santa Terezinha Community, for their testimony, for all the opportunities they offered for my growth and formation. They were four beautiful, intense and very fruitful years, which helped me to discern the will of God in my life, and they encouraged me to pronounce my Yes to Him. The day of my first profession was a beautiful day: I felt as if each one of my sisters at that moment offered me on the altar to the Father along with His Son, to walk together on the road of Holy Love.
I thank you all for every gesture of affection and unity that you have manifested to me in different ways. Our Beloved Spouse is faithful, but I ask you to continue to pray for my fidelity and perseverance in self-giving, love and service in the mission that He asks me, now, in the Community of Santa Fe, in Argentina".
