On October 1, 2023, on the occasion of the feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, our Patroness, 13 novices made their first vows in the church of Itaosy. From the 2nd to the 6th of October 2023, all Carmelites from Madagascar and the Indian Ocean took part in a session of Ongoing Formation, which addressed the following topics: pastoral care, school administration and the formation of young people in the face of today’s challenges.
During the month of October, Father Ramiro Casale, General Delegate for the OCDS, made a fraternal visit to the communities of the Secular Order of our Commissariat, but he was also able to meet with our friars and Carmelite nuns.
