January 6th, 2023 was a great joy for us as we were approaching the Feast of the Epiphany of Jesus. Our joys were multiplied by welcoming Marie Celine, Elizabeth Cing, and Elizabeth Sui Sui from Myanmar to a new stage of formation as novices.  We give thanks to God for the courage and perseverance that He has put into their hands to be able to take a new step in their lives. 

On the following day, we join with all the sisters in the delegation, especially the community of the Novitiate of Asia, benefactors, and religious friends from different congregations in celebrating the First Religious Profession of Cecilia Trần Ánh Uyên Thi from Vietnam with a simple and meaningful Eucharistic celebration. The mass was celebrated in two languages English and Vietnamese and was uploaded on the YouTube channel of the community so that Sr. Uyên Thi’s family could be able to watch it.

We are deeply grateful to God for the fruits of consecration that he has given to us for the future of the Congregation especially here in Asia. May God through the intercession of St. Maria Rosa Molas help them to remain faithful as instruments of mercy and Consolation with humility, simplicity, and charity!
