Between October 2025 and January 2026, Sisters Maria Teresa Cuervo and Maggie D’Costa will make the visit of the General Team to various countries of the Province of Vedrun America. <\/p>\n\n

This is the fourth chronicle of their visit, between November 24, 2025 and January 2, 2026, during which they shared with the communities of Campinas, Carnaubeira, Belo Horizonte and Maring\u00e1 (Guadeloupe, Santa Cruz-la Ch\u00e1cara and Mato Grosso).<\/p>\n\n

Campinas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

We arrived in Brazil after a long trip from Argentina, and this was the first community we visited. Here is the Formation House of Vedrun America<\/strong>, and the sisters and novices welcomed us with great joy. <\/p>\n\n

There is much to emphasize about the dynamics of the novitiate here, but we especially highlight the inter-congregational courses <\/strong>and the fact that the formation of the novices is carried out according to the reality of the province. For example, since at the moment there are no sisters from all the different countries of Vedrun America to enrich the formation community, the novitiate goes out to the countries of the continent. That is to say, with the contribution of several sisters from different countries and some lay people, the novices receive different courses, which at the same time are taken up by the community to complement, deepen and concretize what the course asks for. <\/p>\n\n

The night before our departure, we were invited to participate in an online meeting in which all the novice formators, both our sisters and some lay people were present. There was much appreciation for their involvement and contribution through the various topics discussed. It was a moment of gratitude to the whole Province for accompanying them on this journey. <\/p>\n\n

The Vedruna Social Center<\/strong> is also located in this community. It is a space for underprivileged youth of the neighborhood, where they have artistic and creative activities to interact with each other, as well as social and psychological support from teachers, including some of our sisters. <\/p>\n\n

During our stay, we were able to see how the Vedruna presence is very much appreciated in the neighborhood, especially at the Eucharist which we attended two days at St. Monica’s Parish<\/strong> in two days.<\/p>\n
