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, <\/strong>taking a step full of love on the path of the charism of St. Joaquina. <\/p>\n\n

This beautiful moment was prepared with much affection and depth thanks to the accompaniment of Father Jos\u00e9 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.<\/p>\n\n

The celebration was marked by gratitude to the Lord for these 200 years as a family and shared love.<\/p>\n\n

We felt deeply accompanied by our families, friends and the parish community who, with their presence, made this unforgettable day even more special.<\/p>\n\n

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”<\/strong> and “Love never says enough<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n\n
