SISTER MARÍA LIDIA PEREIRA
INTERCULTURAL EXPERIENCE
On March 29, 2021, I arrived in Santa Cruz de la Sierra with the certainty that the Spirit was calling me to expand my heart to embrace other realities, cultures, peoples and mission with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambery in the region of Bolivia.
I live with Sr. Antonia and Sister Bené. We had a beautiful experience of togetherness and we came to know one another and grew in our personal and community life. Our community is always attentive, available and committed to Life, especially the most fragile, vulnerable and needy.
JESUS WALKS WITH US
I felt very welcomed, loved, understood and trusted from the day one by the sisters of my community, the Region and the Congregation. I feel very grateful for the gift of life and opportunities that are given to us to make the Kingdom of God present at this time through our Charism of Communion.
Like the disciples to Emmaus, we go forward with the confidence, knowing well that Jesus walks with us. THANK YOU!
