CENACLE BARANGKA 2024: THE MISSION CONTINUES
2024 was a challenging year for the little community of Barangka, as it faced major
health concerns. But the mission continues, as Reylie continued her work as Regional
Secretary and Retreat House Administrator, as well as Campus Minister in the Ateneo
de Manila University. Together, she and Cecille worked in the Cenacle Sabbatical
Program for Consecrated Women in September and October, as program facilitators
and spiritual directors.

DUBLIN
This year the Annual Ecumenical Lenten Talks in Dalkey focused on Synodality. Helen is involved in this ministry and other ecumenical endeavours including initiating a Lectio Divina group.
Helen also gave a Celtic Spirituality Workshop to Loreto/C.J. Sisters on International Tertianship. One aspect of Celtic Spirituality is that it is creation- focussed so touches ecological issues of today.

Community: Sisters Marie Georgette, Lucie, Laurette, Iharisoa, Hasina
The community has a beautiful mission in the Eucharistic Youth Movement (MEJ) of the Diocese of Tolagnaro. Sister Lucie is part of the spiritual team.
This Ignatian-inspired movement aims to help young people grow in their faith and their relationship with Christ and to take their place in the world and the Catholic Church. A vocation very much in line with our charism.
