December 27, 2025! One day was not enough to experience exceptional time.

One day was not enough to experience exceptional time for each of the 35 sisters of the region: so, it was a triduum :

On December 26 at the Saint Germain nursing home in La Tronche (Isère) a festive mass brought together the 6 sisters of the house and the 4 sisters of Grenoble plus the residents, during which Father Devers underlined the importance of the witness of the sisters of Christ and motivated them in the dynamics of religious life and the hope of communion,  of peace and reconciliation in daily life.

Our commitment to live fraternity in diversity and our evangelical audacity to dare to take new paths in response to the call of the Spirit.

In the afternoon, a celebration recalled the importance of fidelity to our history, our commitment to live fraternity in diversity and our evangelical audacity to dare to take new paths in response to the call of the Spirit.

On December 27 in Retournac, all the sisters of the 6 communities and the Associates of the Lyon group (37 in total) are happy and enthusiastic to live this fraternal time of remembrance but also of momentum for tomorrow. The festive mass was the expression of this... But there are no parties without fraternal feasts where exchanges, songs, dances were on the program! The welcome was such that those who could not return to Lyon or Grenoble found there hospitality for the night! 

On December 28th, on the way to Saint Sigolène to live with the sisters in the nursing home, the same celebration as in Saint Germain during which we were able to hear again a call from Sister Thérèse de Larminat, our1st Superior General! What an emotion! But also experience of the same... fraternity, ending with a tea worthy of Babeth's feast! 

…THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WITNESS OF THE SISTERS OF CHRIST AND MOTIVATED THEM IN THE DYNAMICS OF RELIGIOUS LIFE AND THE HOPE OF COMMUNION,  OF PEACE AND RECONCILIATION IN DAILY LIFE.
