The second week of October the International Formation Coordinating Team met at Sacred Heart Convent in the lower east side of Manhattan. Nine of us, plus our efficient secretary began to work arduously that we forgot to take pictures to Commemorate the days that we were together. We covered many topics in initial formation as we exhaustively tried to come to make some recommendations to the General Council and some provincials. I consider that it was a very successful meeting where Sr. Eliane our General Superior animated and encouraged us to continue working generously in this important work of formation. One afternoon we were invited to refresh ourselves by going to a friend’s restaurant in Brooklyn, where they had prepared a wonderfully decorated corner for us with much love and care. We dined exquisitely with Italian cuisine. The next day we were ready to put all our energy and dedication in our work. By the way! We did take pictures of that marvelous afternoon which we will share with you.
