On Friday evening, October 9, we gathered in our chapel to commemorate the anniversary of the death of our foundress, Blessed Mary Angela. Her light continues to shine throughout the world through her daughters, Associates, and lay partners, who carry forward her spirit of love, service, and compassion.
On Saturday, October 10, at 5:00 p.m., all our employees gathered to celebrate the Eucharist in memory of Blessed Mary Angela. We were blessed to have Father James Pierre preside at the celebration. It was especially meaningful to welcome him, as we had accompanied him throughout his seminary formation and journey to ordination.
Many of our employees have been walking alongside us since they were young teenagers, growing with us in faith and service over the years. Others, including the staff of the Mother Angela Clinic, have been part of our mission since the clinic opened 12 years ago. These enduring relationships are a beautiful witness to the spirit of accompaniment that lies at the heart of our mission.
Through these years of shared commitment, accompaniment, sustainability, and empowerment continue to take root and flourish in the Felician Haiti Mission. Together, we strive to live the charism of Blessed Mary Angela by bringing hope, dignity, and compassionate care to those we serve.
As we celebrate our foundress, we renew our commitment to follow her example and keep her spirit alive in all that we do.
“Blessed Angela, your light we want to be… With your love and your zeal, enflame our hearts, and with joy we will always serve the Lord!”
