On May 22, the Vedruna communities from various countries in the Americas came together to celebrate with joy and gratitude the feast of Saint Joaquina de Vedruna<\/strong> and, in many places, the bicentennial of the Congregation\u2019s founding. Eucharistic celebrations, community gatherings, acts of fraternity, and artistic expressions marked a day lived with faith, hope, and a spirit of family.<\/p>\n\n

In Suipacha, Argentina<\/strong>, the sisters took part in the celebrations organized by the Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Carmen School and the Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario Parish. Some attended the morning Mass with the high school students in the school chapel, while others participated in the afternoon at the parish with the elementary school students.<\/p>\n\n

The celebration was filled with participation and enthusiasm right from the start, with the opening procession featuring the statue of Saint Joaquina. During the offertory, several sisters, together with the residents of the senior center, held up a sign reading \u201cKids, with God, anything is possible,\u201d<\/strong> encouraging the children, youth, and teenagers in attendance to always remain strong and courageous.<\/p>\n\n

At the end of the Mass, everyone enjoyed hot chocolate with the kindergarten children in the schoolyard, blessed by beautiful weather. The community gave thanks to God and to all those who made this meaningful celebration possible.<\/p>\n
