Delegation of Asia's pastoral visit closed
Delegation of Asia's pastoral visit closed with the evening prayer.         The opening prayer chosen was 'Come, Holy Spirit' sung by the Vietnamese community for the Holy Spirit to lead us during the celebration. Although we could not face each other and pray, the Holy Spirit consoled us as if we were close even though we were far away. Evening prayer went beautifully.         To conclude the pastoral visit, General Superior Antonia read the final minutes Each community then presented its thanksgiving through songs, dance, or prayer they had prepared.         Everyone was able to conclude the pastoral visit with joy, and it ended with the last part of the General chapter prayer adresses to Our Lady. Thank you to all the sisters who remembered the Delegation of Asia and prayed with us.

It was a good start for all of us, even though some of the children were crying a lot since this is the first time they join in the class. We are grateful to God for the opening of new school years by which we can continue our mission of Consolation education to the children and offer job opportunities to the teachers. We believe that the parents are glad to have their children in our school. We also express our gratitude to DELWENDE through whom we can continue this project. May St. Maria Rosa Molas, teacher of humanity help us to recognise and value the presence of each child that was entrusted to us!
