On Saturday, October 4th, the Casa donned its Festive Colors to Honor its Two Jubilarians of the year: Brother Dino De Carolis (60 years of Religious Life) and Brother Hervé Asse (50 years of Religious Life).
The Community had expanded its Tent to welcome two Neighboring Communities: the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (called the Picpus Fathers) and the Little Sisters of Divine Providence. Our two “Ladies of Service” were also there with some Members of their Families.

Father Alberto Toutin, Superior General of the Picpus Fathers, who presided over the Celebration, addressed these Words to the Jubilarians during his Homily: “I then pray to the Lord that these years of Religious Life (50 and 60 years of Mennaisian life) may bring you Blessings and Praise for all that God is and does for you today. May God continue His Work, begun even before your Mothers carried you in their Wombs, and which led you to advance with proven Confidence, with a New Outlook to Contemplate and Welcome the Newness of His Eternal Coming.”

The Second part of the Day was one of Fraternal Sharing around a shared Meal, and well animated by Our Meetings, Our Voices, Our Songs, and even… by the Sweet Melody of a Violin, which emerged from a certain Lethargy (!) to make Hearts vibrate in a Communion of Brothers and Sisters, Happy to be Together on that day.
