Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Blessed be you, my God, for having created me. - Saint Clare of Assisi (feast day, 11 August) The same day beautiful Sr. Margarita, left us for eternal life. R I P
Rest in peace dear sister. Una abrazo y oraciones para la comunidad FCJ
We were privileged to have Dr Christina Kheng speak to us from Singapore on "Synodality and religious life in practice: Working together in Communion and Mission". Lots of enthusiasm and food for thought with many practical suggestions coming from our shared Ignatian spirituality.Dr Kheng is a laywoman from Singapore member of the Synod's Methodology Commission. She teaches at the East Asian Pastoral Institute in Manila and her research focuses on inter-disciplinary methods for church-society dialogue.#fcjsisters #hopeandjoy #IndonesianAdventure

Hello Mary Anne, hello Lynne , hello every body . God bless you all.
Our gathering was addressed by Sr Maria Cimperman RSCJ, professor, author, and coordinator of a new initiative which aims to support the members of UISG International Union of Superiors General in living the #Synodal commitment. Here is a quote from her talk which has helped us reflect on how our FCJ charism invites us today to fully committed lives of love and service together:"Charisms are dynamic and the Spirit is constantly communicating with us in specific realities about where to offer our gifts. Each new person who joins contributes to the charism… How is the charism calling us today?"

"Be the hope you long for in the fragile world in which we live.""Remember that genuine hope always needs an action to complete it or else it might become simply 'wishful thinking'."These are some quotes from the opening address by Sr Bonnie Moser, our FCJ General Superior to our "Sent together in hope and joy" gathering #hopeandjoy #fcjsisters #IndonesianAdventure

Did you know that the first group of FCJ sisters arrived in Australia on 1 June 1882?In our 135th year, we recognise and celebrate the Twelve sisters, from Ireland and England, who disembarked from the SS Liguria at Sandridge (Port Melbourne) after a voyage from England that lasted six weeks. They were missioned in response to an urgent call to help with the education of Catholic children in Australia. It wasn't until a few years later, in 1889, that Genazzano FCJ College was established.Our Stained Glass in the d'Houët foyer is a constant reminder of this significant part of our history.
