A time of hope, listening and fraternity

From September 4 to 7, Superiors gathered at the Ranica Center for Spirituality and Culture for their annual assembly—a precious time of prayer, listening, formation, and fraternity.

 

The proceedings opened with a greeting from the Superior General, Mother Iolanda Pistani, who invited everyone to look to the future with hope and trust, learning to recognize the small shoots of goodness growing in everyday life.

 

Reflection continued through sessions of formation and dialogue, including a workshop on synodal leadership by Patrizia Morgante and presentations on obedience—viewed in the light of Christ’s obedience to the Father—by Father Ezio Bolis and Father Pietro Antonio Ruggiero.

 

A particularly significant moment was the celebration of the 25th and 50th anniversaries of consecration for three sisters, an occasion marked by gratitude, prayer, and the joy of fraternity.

 

The gathering concluded with a Jubilee pilgrimage to Albino and the presentation of materials for the year’s reflection, as well as a new handbook on communication.

​

It was, in short, an assembly experienced as a time of grace and renewal—a chance to move forward together with confidence, cherishing what was shared and allowing hope to guide the way.
