The call “to extend the Incarnation ‘to all men, in the whole of man, and in all the manifestations of man,’” is none other than “a work for man’s integral well-being by showing him his nature, his dignity, vocation, inalienable rights, freedom and eternal destiny by achieving the goal of his faith, salvation of souls.” (Constitutions, ns. 5 and 14)
What more could we aspire for our armed forces, those who give their lives for the protection of our nation, if not for the salvation of their souls?
from February 19-28, 2024, we were invited to the United States Naval base in Sasebo, Japan, by the Catholic Navy Chaplain, Fr. Rene Pellessier. The sisters toured the Naval Base and hosted a Family retreat day on base.
these brave families and sailors learn to live in instability and constant adjusting to new cultures. Our sisters sought to help support them in their faith and community life.
We pray that this short mission on base may help strengthen these families in their resolve to form a community, although diverse and changing, which is founded upon Christ, the Rock, and no other foundation can anyone lay. (1 Cor 3:11)
