Celebration of the 47th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Congregation in Mexico.

""It is good to give thanks to the Lord and to recount His wonders" for these 47 years of the Congregation's presence in Mexico."

Thank you Lord, for the welcoming of the Mexican people and for making of us a fertile ground for our Foundress, Marie Poussepin charism to take root.

Thank you Lord, for the vocations granted during these years of existence in the cities where we are present, and for those whom God will continue to call.

Thank you Lord, for the first two sisters sent to the foundation: Sister Leonor Avellaneda Navas, who now enjoys the presence of God and intercedes for us as we journey here on earth and for Sister Lilia Alcira Vacca Ávila, who continues to live with joy and peace in Colombia, embracing the final stage of her life with faith and hope.

Thank you Lord, for each of the Colombian Sisters who have given their lives in these beloved lands and have returned to their country, as well as for our Sisters whom God has called to eternity.

Thank you Lord, for the presence and intercession of Saint Joseph, to whom this foundation was entrusted. His protection has been continuous, both spiritually and materially, throughout these 47 years.

Thanks be to the Lord and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who lead us by the hand and have invited us to "enlarge our tent." With the same Charism and the same faith, we shall walk with hope in this moment of history, deepening together the legacy of our Foundress Blessed Marie Poussepin.
