With great joy and emotion on May 22 we lived a deeply significant moment for our lives and our community. In the St. Joaquina Vedruna Community of Huilco Alto, Melipilla, seven women made our Vedruna Lay Commitment, taking a step full of love on the path of the charism of St. Joaquina.
This beautiful moment was prepared with much affection and depth thanks to the accompaniment of Father José Antonio Costabal, who the day before gave us a spiritual retreat that helped us to reflect and pray around some phrases of Saint Joaquina, preparing us for this important commitment.
The celebration was marked by gratitude to the Lord for these 200 years as a family and shared love.
We felt deeply accompanied by our families, friends and the parish community who, with their presence, made this unforgettable day even more special.
We thank God for this gift and for allowing us to continue walking in the style of St. Joaquina, convinced that “Joy is the main virtue” and “Love never says enough“.
