On the evening of the 29th, the Generalate Community participated in the Vigil
which took place at the Basilica of St. Mary Major.
Sister Patricia was seated in the front with
the International Union of Superiors General Board (UISG).
We were privileged to have two of our Generalate team, Meny and Jeanne Aimée,
participating in the opening vigil for this special year.
During the vigil we were surprised to see the Pope via video, and to hear his message to us and his blessing.
