THE CENA CLUB
At the initiative of two young people connected with the community, we have been welcoming a group of young professionals once a month for over a year in a room that they have converted into a “friendly bar.” The evening begins in our oratory with a time of prayer and continues in the “bar” for a time of sharing news, welcoming newcomers over a beer or fruit juice and small sandwiches brought by everyone. Then, we create together what one of us proposes according to his or her talents: origami, greeting cards, Advent calendar, photo workshop… This time of free, conviviality and collective creativity is very much appreciated by the young people who take it upon themselves to invite others!

Antsirabe (Madagascar)
Community: Sisters Isabelle R., Colette, Marie Agathe, Marie Claudine, Julia, Madeleine R., Marie Georgette, Isabelle B., Heritina Julie, Mathilde Eugénie
We sum up our year 2024 in two words:
Joy
People (of all categories) need our mission. They are delighted with the quality of the activities we offer.
Difficulties
Lack of resource people and a large hall. The community thinks it would be great to have this kind of large room at the Cenacle in Antsirabe.
Here are some of our latest spiritual proposals:

Community: Sisters Maria, Eliane, Selcineide


You can see in the photos how our community in Fortaleza has lived out our mission this year, which consists of offering people a space to feel God’s presence in nature, in prayer, silence and welcome. The peace of God. To be a Cenacle within ourselves, where God becomes LIFE for everyone.
