Destinations for the new FMA missionaries 2017

By FMA Mission Ambito

FMA -- On December 28, 2017, the Mother General of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, Mother Yvonne Reungoat, announced to the community of the Generalate and to the world, the destination of the thirteen new missionaries.

At the conclusion of the discernment process, Mother met with the new missionaries to dialog with them and communicate the name of the Province to which each one was destined. The Councilor for the Missions Sector, Sr. Alaide Deretti, and her collaborators, accompanied the discernment and formation journey of the new missionaries, grateful to the Provinces that had sent them and in the awareness that the Institute was born missionary!

At this time, both the Church and the Institute are breathing a new missionary atmosphere. Pope Francis affirms: "We make mission under the inspiration of Mary, Mother of evangelization. She, moved by the Spirit, received the Word of life in the depths of her humble faith. The Virgin helps us to say our 'yes' in the urgency to make the Good News of Jesus resound in our time".

Among the 13 new Missionaries coming from 12 Provinces and 4 Continents are also three FMA sisters heading from the EAO provinces (FMA - CIAO confrerence).

We pray that the missionary flame burning thanks thanks to the 140th anniversary of the first FMA missionary expedition will bring more fruits also in the coming years!
