From January 5 to 7, in the city of Puente Alto, was held the Meeting of Management Teams of the Vedruna Schools of Chile, organized by the Management Team of the country. The management teams of the schools Nuestra Señora del Carmen (Padre Las Casas), Santa Rosa (Constitución), Santa Joaquina (Puente Alto) and Vedruna (San Felipe) participated.
The objective of the meeting was to deepen our understanding of the Vedruna charism, to know and assume, from the different levels, the Country Strategic Plan, as well as to share concerns, searches and challenges that arise from its implementation in the educational communities.
Illuminated by the Chapter Document Born Again, the participants reflected on shared leadership and the challenges posed today by the Vedruna Educational Proposal (PEV), in terms of renewal, co-responsibility and creative fidelity to the charism.
It was a privileged space for the exchange of experiences, lived in an atmosphere of joy, fraternity and respect, which favored the creation of bonds among the members of the four educational communities and the definition of some common actions to be developed as a country.
A particularly significant moment was the community prayer on January 6, the Feast of the Manifestation of the Lord, during which we remembered the moment when, 200 years ago, St. Joaquina de Vedruna made her vows as a religious. In this context, the three sisters present also renewed their vows, giving thanks for the vocation received and renewing their commitment to the educational mission.
