RETOURNING ENCOUNTER OF SAINT ANNE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM - Our Lady of Pillar Province
On Saturday, October 17, the Saint Anne Volunteer Program (Province of Our Lady of the Pillar) will hold its Retourning Encounter in Madrid, Spain, at the Moncloa Community, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
This gathering allows volunteers who completed their service this year in communities or centers within other Provinces of the Congregation to share their experiences, reflect on what they learned and the transformations that took place, and discuss the commitments they made upon their return. It also aims to ensure that those who have not yet traveled—or who did so some time ago—feel like active participants in the SAINT ANNE VOLUNTEER JOURNEY.
We extend our gratitude to the Communities that hosted them, as well as to the Provincial Superiors and the Councillors responsible for the Field of Pastoral Apostolate and Missionary Animation, for their openness and hospitality.
We continue moving forward together so that the SAINT ANNE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM (encompassing both Missionary Volunteering and the JBF) may gradually consolidate its foundation and open up toward an increasingly well-defined Social Volunteering initiative.
