‘Take no rest until Jesus Christ is fully formed in you’
This quotation from Fr Gailhac was chosen by the four novices for the cover of their Profession Booklet, combined with the symbol of a burning heart.
Transformation into Jesus Christ, readiness for mission in whatever part of the world there is need and living this in international communities and contexts were strong themes. The liturgy celebration itself was interspersed with songs in various languages, symbols and dances - very joyful and meaningful
Representatives of the local Christian communities, Religious communities and our Brazilian Province as well as friends celebrated with us. Sr Ana Helena Andreao, Brazilian Provincial, received the vows.    
All participated in the refreshments afterwards. There was much lively conversation and many hugs, as well as expressions of ‘saudades’ for the four new sisters who would leave Brazil two days later.
Srs, Mavis Muwela, Deborah Jamali, Rosaria Meno and Arsenia Sapatinha have now returned to their sending Regions and after a short break will begin their first mission as RSHM.
