In Porto Alegre, Garibaldi and Caxias do Sul


When they came to Porto Alegre, Sr. Ivani Gandini said, “Much touched us in the group\´s meeting with the Sisters, each spoke about what they do and how they live. They spoke to us of their involvement in Church and social actions. We were all impressed by the simplicity, openness, dedication, understanding, friendship and gratitude they expressed for all. "


In Garibaldi it was no different. Sr. Eulalia Antoniazzi says they have shown admiration for the way the memory of the Sisters from France has been preserved. This could be clearly perceived on the occasion of the guided tour of the Sisters of St Joseph Memorial. They wanted to see everything and listen to all the explanations. They also participated in a celebration of the Word at the tomb of Mother Justina Inês. After the prayer, the French were able to hear the witness of two people who attained grace through the intercession of Mother Justina Agnes. It was exciting. After a simple socializing and thanks, the group left. We keep beautiful memories of everyone. We make a commitment to remember them in our prayers, Sister concluded.


In Caxias do Sul,  "We can say that these people from France were a joyful and positive presence. They brought us a part of the root of the Congregation, looking to the future with the prospect of an exchange to keep alive the relationship of communion. The group went through our school, taking in everything they could and assimilating every conversation, every experience, and registering each moment with teachers and staff." Jorge Godoy, Deputy Director of the Colégio São José, said. “Thank you very much, Sister Dominga Zolet, for the brilliant and inspiring idea of this trip! Thank you to both priests and every missionary pilgrim! May this exchange, sharing and coexistence be repeated.”
