Afire for God’s Mission in Today’s World
“I came to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled.” (Lk 12,49)
Sisters Mary Drum, Provincial Superior, and Maureen Smith are our Australian representatives.
On 1st February 25 years of MSC Sisters presence and ministries in Manila and San Mateo was celebrated beginning with Eucharist
presided by Fr. Leonaro Cabrera, MSC (Philippine Provincial Superior), with the Chevalier Family in Metro Manila well represented.
It was fitting that Mary Drum who saw the beginning of the community in Manila addressed the gathering at the dinner.
Various cultural performances added to the celebration.
