To celebrate this event, the Brazilian province has organized a VOCATIONAL YEAR.
The theme: “Put your Joy in Serving” and the motto: “So that all may be one” (Jn 17:21). October 15, is our foundation day on which we begin the Vocational Year. It is an invitation to intensify the option to follow Jesus Christ and to be a WITNESS OF THE JOY of the Gospel. In order to live the Charism of Sisters of St. Joseph's, we dedicate this year for vocation to married life, priestly life, religious life and Associates members. It is an appeal to build healthy relationships that favour unity.
By organizing this Vocational Year, the Province wishes to: make the charism of the Congregation better known in the different areas of Mission; intensify prayer for vocations; provide experiences of unity through direct vocation animation; make the media real instruments for awakening the vocation.
The itinerary of the vocational year will include: Prayers, invitations, reflections, training programs, Lives Streaming, sharing, testimonies of life etc. among other actions.
“Put your joy in serving”! Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambery in Brazil: a story of lives dedicated in love and service!
