The day opened with the Eucharistic Celebration, thanksgiving par excellence, presided over by Fr.

In fact, in the days preceding the feast, each community received a word of the logo of the 2021-2022 Programming of the Preprovince, on which to reflect and from which to prepare a moment of animation for the afternoon of the Feast.<\/p>\n

St. Mary Domenica Mazzarello <\/em>Community, using a short obstacle course, invited everyone to exercise daring<\/strong>, a fundamental value in the charismatic and educational experience of Mother Mazzarello.\u00a0 Mother Angela Vespa<\/em> Community, through a song animated by gestures, encouraged reflection on generativity<\/strong>, starting with the contemplation of nature.\u00a0 Sister Teresa Vals\u00e8 Pantellini<\/em> Community, invited all to revive educational passion<\/strong> with a dance around the trees of the park to communicate the beauty of life.\u00a0 Mother Ersilia Canta <\/em>Community, through a plurality of artistic expressions, awakened in the FMA the awareness that everything expresses care <\/strong>and requires care. Finally, Paul VI <\/em>community of Concesio, through a network connection, called for fidelity<\/strong> to the charismatic roots, inviting all to sing together \u201cO qual sorte<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The afternoon concluded with an exchange of gifts.\u00a0 The Superior of the Preprovince, Sr. Maria del Carmen Canales, received the symbolic gift of a lemon plant, which in the language of trees indicates purity and salvation.\u00a0 Each Sister then received as a gift from the Preprovince, their own tree, in the format of a bookmark, as the invitation to take care of all that life entrusts to their hands.<\/p>\n\r\n
