It is with joy and gratitude that on Sunday, October 17, the Italian Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph celebrated in Turin, the Bicentenary of the arrival in 1821 of the Little Design in Italy.

The International Centre Board met on September 17-19 with five members in person and three members on Zoom who were unable to be present in Le Puy.

At its September meeting, the Board thanked Sr. Ieda for her service as president and member of the Executive Committee for several years.

For over the 12 months, Novitiate Community of the Institute of the Sisters of St. Joseph had tried numerous times to visit the Centre. Their plans, however, were dashed by coronavirus restrictions and lock-downs. In May, they were finally able to travel from Lyon to Le Puy—and they even brought a picnic lunch of sandwiches, salad, cheese, dessert, and Muscat wine.

Flowers are popping out all over and the garden is growing: tomatoes, pumpkins, and cabbage.
