Our annual Christmas party began on December 25 at 11 a.m. Our children came in their best outfits, ready to celebrate and to come and adore the newborn King.

We made it through the day, giving every child a gift.

We thank every one for making this Christmas Day so festive with gifts and, especially, our festive dinner that included soda for the kids!!! We all say mesi anpil!

Our Wiglia is small and simple, but full of the spirit of God.

Prepare the Way for the Lord was the theme for this year’s Advent Reconciliation Service which always includes Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Here they are–500 Christmas cookies all ready for the big day, December 25, the birthday of Jesus!

We have a greater understanding of what it means to Prepare the Way for the Lord! We are so blest to have our Youth and Young Adult team as assisting in the various ways we need to prepare for Christmas.

Now remember, we can only see these beautiful lights when we have electricity from the city. Come Lord, Jesus!

We now grow our very own bananas!!!!! Sr. Inga is so happy because she loves a banana a day!

Sr. Marilyn works with teens who are preparing for Confirmation.

Sr. Inga organizes the program and prepares the catechists for each class. Our children come from the poorest families in the Cathedral parish. They come to Mass every Sunday and sit together with us.

You may have met Annette from seeing her on our blogs. She is a young woman who lives with us and shares in the Felician Mission. Annette works with all the young mothers who come to us every month, looking for assistance. About two weeks ago, we worked together to create a nourishing supplement to give them for their children and their babies. This concoction was shared with us by the sisters in Brazil who use it for those who live in the Amazon. It is made of seeds and nuts and corn meal.

We prepared packages for the mothers. Annette meets with them on the first Friday of of the month. On November 29, she gathered over 50 mothers. She began with a spiritual reflection, explaining the necessity of asking for God’s care and support. She also reflected on the meaning of preparing for the Lord’s coming in our lives. Annette truly embraces the core values of the Felician Sisters!
