WEAVING THE THREADS OF VISION

June 30, 2024

Affiliates Meeting in Provincial House

The weekend 29-30th June 2024 saw a special gathering of affiliates and Daughters of Charity at our Provincial House in Mill Hill. We came together to share our story and achieve the following aims:


·       To get to know each other better

·       To meet as a group and on a personal level

·       To share our stories – personal, province and Vincentian Charism

·       To pray together and share Eucharist

·       To enjoy quiet time for reflection

·       To weave the threads of vision for a collaborative way forward.



We were blessed by glorious weather as we came together in a variety of sharing settings – inputs, group work, prayer and reflection, meals, coffee breaks, socialising, walks and even a visit to our cemetery to visit the graves of Sisters, we have all known and loved. Sunday morning, we began to create a vision for affiliation and what might make for meaningful, practical next steps. We did this through a “Weaving Session”. Everyone left with joyful hearts and plans to meet again.

Sister Françoise Petit, (Superioress General) Sister Julie Kubasak and Sister Theresa Eke (General Councillors)travelled to Kenya for the celebrations. The Kenya Mission, as part of the Irish Province, was established in 2002 and Tanzania, as part of the Province of Congo, was established in 2006. Kenya has 7 local communities and 40 sisters. Tanzania has 9 sisters and two local communities. Earlier this year Sr Francoise Petit, Superioress General, initiated dialogue and consultation with all the sisters in Tanzania and Kenya. It was agreed that a new Region should be established as part of the Irish Province. This new region will be under the patronage of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Recently, after consultation, Sr Liz Smith was appointed as the new Regional Superior for the Region of East Africa . Sr. Lawrencilla Kiambi, Sr Josephine Kimeu, Sr Irene Okumu and Sr Stella Maris Mgaya William are the new councillors.
