The Felician Sisters is an international congregation, with a presence in Poland, Brazil, Kenya, United States, Canada, Haiti, and more. It's something that I know, but recently I got to experience it. The Enfield central convent, where I live, hosted a meeting with sisters from different provinces, about how we train new members and help them become Felician. As a newer member, I was invited to share about my own experience of discerning my call to religious life. I participated in the meeting, but I also got to get to know the sisters when they joined us for meals and fun activities. I also connected with them when I showed them around town. It was a blessing to connect to the larger congregation in such a personal way.
Some pictures!
The sisters had a lot of fun dancing together!

We were able to communicate because we had a translator. Sister Eliana did a terrific job!
The visiting sisters enjoyed meeting the chaplain, Fr. Mitchell.
