On the occasion of the anniversary of the feast of the canonization of St. Joaquina de Vedruna, our communities in Equatorial Guinea, specifically in Bata and A\u00f1isok, experienced a period of grace and spiritual fervor, marked by various religious, educational and festive activities.<\/p>\n\n

The celebrations began with a preparatory novena<\/strong>, organized in the community from May 14 to 22. Each day, members of the community gathered to pray, meditate and reflect on the virtues of St. Joaquina: faith, charity, simplicity and self-denial. <\/p>\n\n

May 22, the feast of the canonization, was the highlight of our celebration. A solemn Mass<\/strong> was celebrated in thanksgiving for the gift of St. Joaquina to the Church and to the educational family of the Carmelites of Charity.<\/strong> The Eucharist, lively and participatory, was led by the students, with songs, readings and prayer intentions specially prepared for the occasion. <\/p>\n\n

After Mass, we continued with various educational and festive activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
