The Federation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel held their General Assembly from the 5th – 11th May 2024, at the Bishop’s Residence at Xuan Loc under the presidency of Father Francis Nguyễn Quách Tiến OCD, the Religious Assistant of the Federation. The Bishop’s residence consists of a seminary and many buildings catered for big groups. The 5th May, the new President and Councilors were elected. We keep them in our prayers as they begin this new triennium.
From the 13th – 19th May, the Nuns from the 11 Carmels of the Federation had a Formation course. When all 83 sisters were assembled, the course began: one sessions in the morning and another in the afternoon with Questions and Answers. The topic of Fr. Rafal’s course was a continuation on ‘The Identity of St. Teresa’s Carmelite Spirituality’. It covered many areas of our lives as Carmelite Nuns. It was lovely to see the joy radiating from the sisters. They were free to ask questions and thanked to Fr. Francis for translating from English to Vietnamese. It was indeed a wonderful week of learning and sharing.
