The yes to God repeated for 25 years…

The 5th of November a day on which the church of Brazil celebrates the feast of everyone.

We, Sisters of the Province "Nossa Senhora Aparecida" met around the Eucharistic Table to praise God for the 25 years of his fidelity in guiding, day by day, Sr. Pushpa and Sr. Moly in the path of Religious Consecration and also to thank Him for their daily 'yes' to the Lord through the service of their brothers and sisters.
We had the joy of having our Archbishop, Dom Julio Endi Akamine, who presided over the Holy Eucharist and who helped us reflect on the saints, icon of the incarnate Word of God, and on the beauty of consecrated life, in which God takes the initiative to consecrate ourselves for Himself and gives us the grace to consecrate ourselves to Him.


On this feast day we also had the joy of having Sr. Sandra, the superior general, in whose presence we felt the communion with the religious family more alive. Sr. Pushpa and Sr. Moly have been missionaries in Brazil for five years; in fact, they left their beloved India to announce and witness the Gospel of charity in Brazil.

Dearest Sisters, we bless the Lord for the wonders He has accomplished in and through your life given for the Kingdom of God. We wish you a long life of commitment and generous giving, with all the graces of the Divine Spouse Jesus.

Praise the Lord: eternal is His faithfulness

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”
