At the end of this last class, she will return to her country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.

At the time of the evaluation, we heard Thanksgiving to God from many little sisters for “the communion ” with the Congregation, because God continues to rely on us to build His Kingdom, because we are a Congregation that listens to life and allows itself to be converted by the poorest.

With a grateful heart, full of confidence in the Congregational body and hope in God’s dream for the future … we are gone again.
