On the 24th of September, began the activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the federation of the Mexican Discalced Carmelite nuns, with a Eucharistic celebration at which presided our Father General, Fr. Saverio Cannistrà OCD, accompanied by Fr. Rafal Wilkowski OCD ─Secretary General for the Discalced Carmelite nuns, Fr. Javier Mena OCD ─Definitor General for Latin America, Fr. Ricardo Pérez OCD ─OCD Provincial for Mexico, Fr. Juan Pablo Patiño OCD ─Assistant for the Federation and Provincial Delegate for the Discalced Carmelite Nuns in Mexico, Friars from the Council of the Mexican Province of St Albert, as well as other Discalced friars from the Mexican Province and other circumscriptions of the Order.
In a fraternal environment charged with a spirit of thanksgiving for these 50 years, the nuns of the 37 monasteries of the Federation gathered during a week in the St John Paul II Pastoral House, in San Juan de los Lagos, for some days in which to remember the journey made and for study and reflection on upon the challenges of the future, in such a way that it would be possible always to walk from good to better, as the heart of our Holy Mother Teresa desired.
