On Thursday afternoon, September 24, we had the joy of being invited to celebrate the Patronal Feast of the Mercedarian Sisters in Lavanou.

Over the years, we have developed a beautiful and meaningful relationship with the Mercedarian Sisters. They operate a clinic in Lavanou, while we serve the community through our mobile clinic. Because our ministries are closely connected, we often support one another whenever a need arises. We also enjoy opportunities to come together, share fellowship, and encourage one another in our work.

It was a special blessing to celebrate this feast day with them and to share in their joy. The Sisters are also blessed with two postulants, bringing new hope and promise for the future of their community and ministry.

We are grateful for the friendship and partnership we share with the Mercedarian Sisters and look forward to continuing to walk and serve together.

Bakery Construction Progress

Over the past two months, significant progress has been made toward completing the bakery. Construction, painting, plumbing, electrical work, and other installations have been underway to prepare the facility for full operation.

During the week of September 14–20, Dr. Jean Paul Bonnet and Marmara have been on-site monitoring the progress and overseeing the remaining work. Their presence has helped ensure that the various phases of construction and installation are moving forward as planned and that the bakery remains on schedule for completion.

The continued progress represents an important step toward getting the bakery fully operational.
