A new note in our history occurred this past week when the Pallottine Missionary Sisters of the Generalate hosted an Afternoon Tea for the members of the General Council of the Pallottine Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate. This was an unique gathering of the leaders of the two Congregations of Pallottine Sisters based in Rome, because it was set in the mode of a social get-together for informal sharing of ideas and collaborating on plans for common works in the spirit of our Founder, St. Vincent Pallotti.
The setting took place in the lovely salon/parlor of the Generalate on the top floor with the magnificent view of the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was a joyful afternoon with tasty treats and refreshments enlivened by light-hearted conversation, and of getting to meet the two new council members, Sr. Carmel Therese Favazzo, Vice General from the United States and Sr. Venìcia Meurer from Brazil. The other guests were our old friends, Sr. Ivete Garlet, Superior General, from Brazil and councilors Sr. Stella Maria Marotta from Italy and Sr. Lilly Nanat from India. In no time it was noted that the sun was going down, so we hurriedly took photos, some of which you may see in this article. Sisterly good-bye’s were exchanged and promises to repeat this occasion again were heartily exchanged.
