At its April meeting, the International Centre Board decided to close the Centre for the 2021 season. Concerns and uncertainty about the health and safety of visitors traveling to France from many parts of the world during the coronavirus pandemic made this decision necessary. The Board, however, is already looking to the future and wants to use this year to advance new initiatives at the Centre.
First and foremost, the Board will move the 2021 programs to 2022. Stay tuned for the new dates.
The Board is also interested in trying to provide sisters, associates and friends around the worldwith more resources on the SSJ spirituality.
We will continue these short monthly newsletters about the Centre but will include more coverage about our sisters and associates’ ministries to the Dear Neighbor around the world.
In order to illustrate the extensive global reach of the Sisters of St. Joseph, each month we will feature the Canadian Federation’s Global Prayer Calendar which highlights countries where sisters and associates minister.
We are excited about these changes that are designed to communicate with you in a broader, more expansive way—and hope you find them engaging and informative.
