Anniversaries of the Servants of the Lord

Italy

On June 1, the Community of the Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Bonaria in Sardinia, Italy, celebrated its 5th anniversary.  Although it seems like a few years have passed, many fruits have been seen by the grace of God: more than 100 people have been consecrated to the Virgin, six rounds of Spiritual Exercises have been carried out, a group has been started – with more than 700 people registered – to spread the mercy of God, the Third Order has been started and much apostolate has been carried out with the people who frequently come to stay at the monastery’s guest house.

The monastery aims to implore God’s mercy on humanity in the face of the many forms of evil that threaten it.

The sisters celebrated their anniversary on Saturday 22nd with a Mass of thanksgiving presided by Don Antonio Pinna, chaplain of the monastery, where numerous benefactors participated. After the celebration, a snack was offered to all those who attended.  A small souvenir made by the sisters was given to everyone. Everything was lived in an atmosphere of immense joy.

We thank God for all the benefits received during these years and we ask for the maternal protection of the Virgin of Bonaria, Patroness of Sardinia.

In the Philippines, the Blessed Victoria Diez Community, located in the diocese of Pasig, also celebrated its fifth anniversary on June 2nd. The sisters’ apostolate is the care of the Makabata School Foundation, Inc., which was entrusted to the Institute last year. It is a very small school for children from very poor families. In addition to education, the sisters provide school supplies, books, uniforms, and food to the needy.
